Understanding Mycorrhiza: Types, Importance, and Classification
Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots crucial for plant survival. Around 95% of plant species form mycorrhizal relationships, with mycorrhizae existing since the earliest land plants. Classification includes Ectomycorrhiza and Endomycorrhiza based on tropic levels.
