What kind of structure has a symbiotic relationship with fungi in mycorrhizae?
Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships between the roots of plants and fungi that act as extensions of the root system. The fungi supply the plant with certain nutrients, and the plant in turn supplies the fungi with carbohydrates.
What does mycorrhiza mean?
a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots

Do fungus use sunlight indirectly?
No, fungi do not use sunlight for energy production through photosynthesis like plants do. Instead, they obtain energy by breaking down organic matter. Some fungi may have symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic organisms, such as algae or cyanobacteria, where they live in close association and benefit from the food produced by photosynthesis.
Do viruses infect fungi?
Yes. Mycoviruses are viruses that infect certain fungi including mushrooms/toadstools, moulds like penicillin, and mycorrhizae. They can therefore affect production of edible mushrooms, penicillin and plants that benefit from useful symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi on their roots.

Which type of relationship exists when a certain type of trees roots need a fungus is present in order to grow normally?
Mycorrizal fungi grow on the roots of plants. It forms a symbiotic relationship with plant. This means that both get a benefit from the relationship. The fungi get carbohydrates and other food while they increase the surface area for the roots to absorb more water and minerals.
When both species benefit from the relationship it is called?
That's called a 'symbiotic' relationship.
