hey mate
here is your answer :-
Many are very pale, and a little color goes a long way. For example, the purpley-red flowered beech drops have stems that are kind of booger-colored. Similarly, though the stems and leaves of clustered broomrape are not very colorful, its flowers are a lovely yellow.
Mycorrhizae are Communism

MYCORRHIZAL ROOT TIPS LOOK PRETTY WEIRD. PHOTO: WIKIPEDIA
Most fungi that we are familiar with (mushrooms, molds, etc.) “eat” dead stuff, like organic material in soil and things that have been in your fridge too long. Many plants, like birches, wheat, and roses, are in mycorrhizal (Greek again, for “fungus-root”) relationships: the plant gives the fungus sugars it makes (think bacon cheeseburgers), and in turn the fungus gives the plant nitrogen and minerals (think gummi vitamins) the fungus gets from the dead stuff it breaks down. Some plants and fungi just grow near each other and leak nutrients at each other, while other plants allow fungal hyphae (single-cell fungus strands) to grow into their roots between cells, or even inside their cell walls! Many mycorrhizal plants’ seeds can’t even sprout without their fungal friends nearby. Mycorrhizal relationships are like communism: some people farm, some people hunt, some people make clothes, everybody shares, and nothing bad ever happens.
Heteromycotrophs Steal from Communists
Some plants are too cool to just be friends with fungi for nitrogen. Plants called heteromycotrophs (MORE Greek! Hetero = different [e.g. food not from itself], myco = fungi, troph = feed) make friends with soil fungi, then steal all the food they need from the fungi. Often this fungi is already mycorrhizal with a different plant, making them extra juicy for the heteromycotroph to tap into. Heteromycotrophs are Keith, the guy at work who takes credit for other people’s output. If you’re a fungus, watch out for Keith.
Ghost plant (Monotropa uniflora, also called Indian pipe or corpse plant) is the heteromycotroph I see most often in northern lower Michigan. It’s in the same family as blueberries, but instead of forming happy shrubs with yummy berries, it sends up short (10-30 cm) thick white stalks with thin waxy leaves and drooping tubular flowers in late summer. Its fungal host is a mycorrhizal partner with trees, often beeches and pines. The craziest thing about ghost plant is its mysterious color range; they can be purely corpse-white, or (rarely) nearly blood red, or somewhere in between, and scientists are still trying to figure out why.
I hope it helps you

It does not make fodd because without leaves it does not make food leaves contain chlorophyll which is essential for the process of photosynthesis
