Detailed explanation-1: -Figure 1-Both bacteria and fungi help to feed plants by breaking down rocks to make the nutrients trapped within the rocks available to nearby plant roots. This process is called rock weathering. Microbes that perform rock weathering enrich soils with nutrients and help crops to grow better.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soil bacteria and soil fungi are the start of the soil food web that supports other soil organisms and the functions of a healthy soil. Diverse populations of soil bacteria and fungi can suppress root diseases. Soil bacteria and fungi are encouraged by ground cover and organic matter inputs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria benefit from the plant nutrients provided by the roots, but plants can benefit from their rhizobacteria as well. Bacteria known as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are diverse and represent a wide range of phyla. They also perform a wide variety of growth-promoting functions.
