Detailed explanation-1: -Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships that form between fungi and plants. The fungi colonize the root system of a host plant, providing increased water and nutrient absorption capabilities while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates formed from photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are mycorrhizae? The associations between roots and fungi are called mycorrhizae. These symbiotic arrangements have been found in about 90% of all land plants, and have been around for approximately 400 million years. Plant roots are hospitable sites for the fungi to anchor and produce their threads (hyphae).
Detailed explanation-3: -Mycorrhiza is the symbiotic association of fungi and the roots of plants. It is found in higher plants like Pinus.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic bacteria or algae. The cells from the alga or bacterium live inside the fungus. Besides providing a home, the fungus also provides nutrients. In turn, the bacterium or the alga provides energy to the fungus by performing photosynthesis.
