Answer

FUNGI

The word refers to a kingdom of organisms that are neither plants nor animals. They include mushrooms, molds, mildews, and yeasts. The singular form is fungus, derived from the Latin word for mushroom. These organisms play crucial roles in ecosystems as decomposers and have given us antibiotics, bread, cheese, and beer.

Strategy Tip

Today's word ends with the letter I, which is relatively uncommon in English five letter words. If you are stuck late in a game, consider that some words borrowed from Latin or Italian might end in I for their plural forms.
