Mycorrhizae, a mutualistic association between fungi and plant roots, enhance mineral ion and water absorption by increasing surface area, with fungi obtaining organic molecules from the plant.
- fungi increase surface area for absorption of minerals ions and water - obtain organic molecules such as sucrose and amino acids form plant - mutualism
