Plant symbiosis

Plant symbiosis refers to the mutually beneficial relationships between plants and other organisms. A common example is the association between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, where fungi enhance nutrient uptake for the plant while receiving carbohydrates in return. Another example is nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the roots of legumes, helping to enrich the soil with nitrogen, which plants need to grow. These partnerships are vital for plant health, ecosystem stability, and agricultural productivity, demonstrating how interconnected life forms can thrive together in nature.
