Summary
DescriptionMycorrhiza.svg
English: Mycorrhiza, a symbiotic association between plant roots and fungi. Fungal hyphae (E) increase the surface area of the plant root and thus increase the uptake of key nutrients (P, K, N). The plant supplies the fungi with fixed carbon in the form of glucose (A=root cortex, B=root epidermis, C=arbuscle, D=vesicle, F=root hair, G=nuclei).

attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
share alike – If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same or compatible license as the original.
In this mutualism, fungal hyphae (E) increase the surface area of the root and uptake of key nutrients while the plant supplies the fungi with fixed carbon (A=root cortex, B=root epidermis, C=arbuscle, D=vesicle, F=root hair, G=nuclei).
