Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mycorrhizae are essential for the survival of many plants. They increase the absorptive ability of roots and facilitate nutrient uptake from the soil. Mycorrhizae are not vital for the survival of lichens, and while they are involved in some fermentation processes in the production of wine, beer, and bread, this is not their primary function. Therefore, options A, C, D, and E are incorrect.
