FUNGI S SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH
PLANTS

Fungi and plants enjoy a mutual assistance, and the fungus
that enables this goes by the name of Mycorrhizae. More than 90% of
the world's plants have such a relationship with fungi. Some plants
grow stronger and are invigorated with the help of fungi, while oth-
ers' survival depends on them entirely.
