Question

Miracle of the Mycorrhiza

For millions of years, plants and fungi have been working together in ways that benefit each other. They form a partnership that plays an important role in maintaining the quality of soil. One important relationship between fungi and plants is called the mycorrhiza. It refers to a two-way association between a fungus, or "myca," and the roots, or "rhiza," of a plant. The mycorrhiza fungi can work by either entering the roots of a plant or forming a layer around them. They help the roots absorb essential nutrients and water from the soil. The mycorrhiza fungi create passages in the soil which improve the quality of the soil.
