mycorrhiza

Mycorrhiza are symbiotic associations between fungi and plant roots that enhance plant health. The fungi colonize the roots, increasing the surface area for water and nutrient absorption, especially phosphorus. In return, the plant supplies the fungi with carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis. This mutual relationship benefits both parties: plants grow healthier and more resilient, and fungi receive essential nutrients. Mycorrhiza are widespread in nature and play a vital role in ecosystems and agriculture by improving soil fertility and plant growth naturally.
