The presence of the fungus increases the surface area of the root so it can absorb more water and nutrients. In return for helping the plant, the fungi uses sugars produced during photosynthesis.

Describe two symbiotic relationships involving fungi and members of another kingdom?
Parasitic and symbiotic.Examples of parasitic fungi are ringworm and the like. They grow on the organism, and feed off of it. It provides no benefit to the host organism.Symbiotic fungi would be lichen. It is an algae growing on top of a fungus. The Algae, having chlorophyll, can perform photosynthesis. This benefits the fungus--which is unable to do so--because the fungus then feeds off the algae. The fungus in turn absorbs nutrients from whatever it is growing on, which the algae is able to absorb. So its a win/win situation.
