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: -A mycorrhiza is a mutualistic association between plant roots and fungi, where plants provide photosynthetically derived carbohydrates to fungi, and fungi deliver nutrients and water to plants and offer protection from abiotic and biotic stress (Smith & Read, 2008).

Detailed explanation-3: -Mycorrhiza is the symbiosis association between roots of higher plants and fungi. In this association fungal hyphae are found in the roots of higher plants. Both members are benefitted from this association, that’s why it is called symbiosis or mutualism.
