Many wild orchids cannot be successfully dug up and transplanted because they need the native mycorrhizae (a fungus) in the soil to survive. What kind of interaction is this?View Available Hint(s)mutualismparasitismcompetitionherbivory

This is a mutualistas relationship. Mycorrhizae is a fungus that increase the surface area of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
