Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parasitic fungi usually attack plants through various methods, including penetration of the plant cells, direct contact with the cuticles or epidermis of leaves or stems, or by forming specialized structures that penetrate the plant tissues. Stomata, which are pores found mainly on the leaves and stems, are primarily involved in gas exchange and are not typical entry points for parasitic fungi.
