Fungi help orchids (and other plants) by providing water and nutrients. In orchids, specifically, the fungi associate with the seedlings.

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.
