Answer 2

Mycorrhiza is the fungus associated within the roots of few gymnosperms.

• Mycorrhiza refers to the symbiotic relationship found between fungus and roots of higher plants such as gymnosperms.
• The fungal component provides more efficient uptake of nutrients like phosphorus by the roots of the plant, while the plant provides shelter and food to the fungus.
• Mycorrhiza may be endomycorrhiza or ectomycorrhiza depending on whether the growth is intracellular or extracellular within the plant cortical cells.
• Some examples include Boletus in Pinus root and Coralloid Roots found associated with Cycas.
