Question

How do mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants?

Answer 1

Definition:
"Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between fungi and roots of higher plants".

Step-by-step explanation:
In mycorrhizal association fungi live in roots of higher plants. The fungi may be ecto or endo mycorrhiza. Fugi help in the absorption of nutrients that are too far from the access of roots and provide it to plants, In response plants provide nutrients to fungi which are important for normal growth and development of fungi.

Answer 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.
