How do tiny organisms help the soil?
Tiny organisms such as worms help soil by giving off enzymes and hormones to help give the soil nutrients and water. Tiny organisms also help carry and spread water in the soil so that each plant gets its own share of nutrients. Also the insects that eat at dead things that start to decompose, those insects also carry nutrients into the soil so that way the soil becomes richer and healthy plants can grow healthier and faster.

How can fungus help orchids grow?
Fungi help orchids (and other plants) by providing water and nutrients. In orchids, specifically, the fungi associate with the seedlings. Fungal hyphae are much better than roots at discovering and absorbing nutrients and water in the soil (or whatever medium the plant is in). The water and nutrients are taken up by the fungus and transported to the orchid. If the relationship is mutualistic, then the fungus gets sugars in exchange. If it is not, then the fungus gets nothing.
