What is the name of the type of fungus that inhabits the roots of most plants and provides nutritional benefits to the plants?
Mycorrhizae are the type of fungus that form a symbiotic relationship with plants by colonizing their roots. They help the plants by increasing nutrient absorption and providing protection against pathogens.
What describes a fungus plant root association?
A fungus plant root association, also known as mycorrhiza, is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and plant roots. The fungus helps the plant absorb nutrients like phosphorus and water from the soil, while the plant provides sugars to the fungus. This relationship benefits both organisms and is common in many plant species.

What is the function of haustorium in parasitic fungi?
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.
What is a mycorrhizzae?

What are the roots of a fungus?

How do you use the word fungus in a sentence?
Some fungi lives in symbiosis with trees - the trees supply the fungi with sugars from photosynthesis, and the fungi in turn gathers nutrients from the soil which the tree roots otherwise could not 'reach'.
