These fungi are called mycorrhizae (though, technially, the term "mycorrhizae" refers to the relationship between the fungi and the plants). They grow in or around the roots of a plant and out into the soil. This helps the plant in two ways: First, the fungal hyphae are a lot smaller than the plant's roots and can get into smaller places. Second, they greatly increase the surface area over which nutrients can be absorbed without a huge increase in volume.
Like bacteria, many fungi are decomposers. For example, many fungi live in the soil and returns important nutrients to the soil. Without fungi and bacteria, Earth would be buried under dead plants and animals
Because fungi (along with bacteria) help decompose dead plants, animals, and other organic matter, they serve an important ecological role. They release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and recycle nitrogen and other important nutrients for use by plants and other organisms.
As the fungus decomposes dead matter around the roots of the plant, it leaves behind nutrients that the plant needs.
Fungi are important decomposers of dead animal and plant matter. They break down dead organic matter into simple compounds that can be absorbed by the plants around it. During the process of decomposing matter, fungi returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Green plants use the carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce food.
The life process of fungi help the plants gain water and mineral nutrients from the soil. The plants give the fungi carbohydrates.
fungi helps to replenish the nutrients in the soil
Fungi help by mining and cleaning up oil spils
how do plants roots help fungi
They are of their own kingdom; Fungi.They generally are decomposers, not photosynthesizers.Some "fungi" are difficult to classify and have been classified as fungi because they have more similarities with fungi than actual plants or other life-forms.It is a life-form that is widely researched and some specimens tickle many a scientist brain as to where they actually belong.This middle paragraph seems to confuse Fungi with Protista. " Scientists brains are not tickled " as to where Fungi belong as they are all Eumycota. The only dispute over classification is within the group Fungi as molecular genetics has challenged some taxonomy that classified Fungi physically. Fungi are not plants, animals or protists.
Animals, plants, archaebacteria, eubacteria, fungi, protists
Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).
fungus is classified by size and shape and fungus is different by color and shape
On a macro level, fungi look a lot like plants. Scientists felt either that fungi were simple plants without chloroplasts, or had shed these parts to become mostly parasitic. They have cell walls, and outside of some slime molds, are not mobile. Their mycellium (the fuzzy white lines that are the 'real' fungus) are outwardly similar to a simple root system. They also 'fruited' with mushrooms of some form on most of the higher species. The DNA and proteins told a very different story! On a genetic level, animals and plants are very similar, so similar that it's now believed the ancestor of fungi should be on the same fork of the 'tree of life'.
Cholophyll help plants in photosynthesis, a process by which plants prepare their food to sustain life.

reproduction
Unlike plants fungi are not primary producers. Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other life forms.
Biology is the life process of plants.
The 5 Kingdoms are: Fungi, Plants, Animals, Prokaryotes and Protoctistans.
Fungi breaks down dead plants. If we didn't have fingi we would have an over abundance of dead plants. Even though worms and other bugs help break up plant life as well, fungi probably would have a easeir time with breaking up a fallen down tree.
Fungi slightly predates plant life on earth. The earliest signs of fungi was in the Meso-Proterozoic Era and plant life the Paleozoic Era.
No, Fungi is a kingdom by itself in the domain Eukarya. They are nothing like plants because they are heterotrophic whereas plants are autotrophic plus plants produce with seeds while fungi reproduce using spores
Fungi are not classified as plants because Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning that unlike plants which are autotrophs, they feed on other life forms.Actually Fungi is saprotrophic which means it secretes enzymes and then absorbs other organisms.Because they are not plants.Fungi don't photosynthesis, they don't have flowers, they don't produce seeds etc
