Micorrhiza fungus helps plants, and plants help the fungus.
Micorrhiza fungus creates a symbiotic relationship with a plant through the roots of the plant. The fungus absorbs certain nutrients from plant roots. It in turn, provides the plant roots with large surfaces on which to grow and expand. The fungus also helps the plants by breaking down certain elements that the plant cannot break down by itself.
