Detailed explanation-1: -Glomeromycota, referred to as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, are one of the most significant fungi because they form mutualistic relationships with the roots of almost 90% of plant species (Stajich et al.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Summary. Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below-ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon cycles, and influence soil structure and ecosystem multifunctionality.
