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: -Mycorrhizae are a symbiotic association between plant roots and fungi. Their major role is to enhance nutrient and water uptake by the host plant by exploiting a larger volume of soil than roots alone can do. Mycorrhizae come in a number of forms, dependent upon both host plant and fungal taxonomy.

Detailed explanation-3: -A mycorrhiza is a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and a plant. The fungus grows in or on the plant roots. The fungus benefits from the easy access to food made by the plant. The plant benefits because the fungus puts out mycelia that help absorb water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mycorrhizal fungi form a mutualistic relationship with the redwoods and other plants in the forest. A mutualistic relationship is when both organisms benefit. The fungi will combine their mycelium with the tree’s roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mycorrhiza is the symbiotic association of fungi and the roots of plants. It is found in higher plants like Pinus.
