Unlocking the Secrets of Rhizophilous Plants: Mycorrhizal Symbiosis and Its Benefits
Rhizophilous plants are those that have a symbiotic relationship with fungi in the soil. These plants have specialized roots that form structures called mycorrhizae, which allow them to exchange nutrients and water with the fungi. In return, the fungi provide the plant with nutrients and water that it would not otherwise be able to access. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the plant and the fungi, and is important for the survival of many plant species in certain environments.
