Root hairs and or symbiotic mycorrhiza.
Mycorrhiza form a relationship between fungi and the roots of vascular plants. This symbiotic relationship helps plants absorb nutrients from the soil and provides the fungi with carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis.
The other name for Mycorrhiza is "fungal root association."
hibernation
they have to scavenge forimmobile nutrients either by exploring the soil with prolific root growth or by encouraging diffusion by increasing the concentration gradient by lowering the concentration at the Root surface. also the presence/absence of mycorrhiza can help with root extension
symbiosis
Mycorrhiza!
a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots
Almost 80% of plants with roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis with fungus. Mycorrhiza, a “fungus root”, forms haustoria, the portion of the parasitic fungus which penetrates the root systems of other plants in order to intercept the nutrients going into the plant. However, as mentioned above, mycorrhiza roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis, which means that the mycorrhiza do not just take, but they give as well. The haustoria gives the plant certain minerals the plant cannot absorb from the soil. --A.S.
