Photosynthesis
No, truffles do not photosynthesize. Truffles are fungi that grow underground in a symbiotic relationship with tree roots, obtaining nutrients from the trees rather than from sunlight like plants do.
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.
Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships between the roots of plants and fungi that act as extensions of the root system. The fungi supply the plant with certain nutrients, and the plant in turn supplies the fungi with carbohydrates.
Algae and mosses are two examples of plants that can lack true stems, roots, and leaves. These plants typically have simple structures that allow them to absorb nutrients and carry out photosynthesis.
Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic relationships with plants by colonizing their roots and aiding in nutrient absorption, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen. These fungi help plants to better access soil nutrients and water, in return receiving sugars from the plant photosynthesis process.

Some fungi allow an exchange of nutrients between the plant and fungi such as phosphate and nitrates. The fungi also allows for defense against certain insects and pests.

These fungi are called mycorrhizae (though, technially, the term "mycorrhizae" refers to the relationship between the fungi and the plants). They grow in or around the roots of a plant and out into the soil. This helps the plant in two ways: First, the fungal hyphae are a lot smaller than the plant's roots and can get into smaller places. Second, they greatly increase the surface area over which nutrients can be absorbed without a huge increase in volume.
yes
Fungi have thread-like structures called hyphae that serve a similar function to roots in plants. These hyphae help fungi to absorb nutrients from their environment and can form a network called mycelium to aid in nutrient uptake and communication within the fungal organism.
No
Everything needs some sort of nutrients to live. Fungi get their nutrients from photosynthesis, plants do the same and obtain it from the roots, animals obtain their nutrients from eating plants, and other animals.
Plants absorb water and nutrients through their roots.
