The most appropriate kingdom for this organism would be the kingdom Fungi.

Characteristics of fungi:

Cell type: They are eukaryotic organisms which contain well developed nucleus. Cell wall: Cell wall is present around their cells. Their cell walls are primarily composed chitin instead of cellulose. Body organization: They are generally multi-cellular organisms however, few unicellular organisms are also found in this kingdom such as yeast. Mode of nutrition: They are primarily heterotrophic (saprophytes, parasites and symbionts). Mode of reproduction: They can reproduce sexually and asexually by formation of spores in both the methods.
