What are mycorrhiza?

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations of plant roots and fungi.The anatomy of this symbiosis varies, and depends on the type of fungus.The extensions of the fungal mycelium from the mycorrhizae greatly increases the absorptive surface of the plant roots.The fungus provides minerals from the soil for the plant, and the plant provides organic nutrients. Mycorrhizae are enormously important in natural ecosystems and in agriculture.
