Mycorrhizae surround and infiltrate the ________ of vascular plants.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations between certain fungi and the roots of most vascular plants. The fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the plant's roots, increasing the surface area available for water and nutrient uptake from the soil. This allows the plant to obtain more nutrients and water than it would be able to on its own, and in exchange, the fungi receive carbohydrates and other nutrients from the plant.
