Mycorrhizae are essential for the uptake and transportation of crucial nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen in plants. Without them, most vascular plants would be stunted in their growth. Other options, such as the presence of infectious diseases or the existence of blue cheese, are not directly related to mycorrhizae. Antibiotics are derived from fungi, but not specifically from mycorrhizae.
