Plants also establish Intimate relations with fungi 

All plants live in more or less prolonged association with fungi. They may live as symbionts between the plant cells and develop either in a harmonious manner (endoph3Tes), or on the contrary provoke illness (ph5Topathogens). Mycorrhizal fungi, meanwhile, are among mutualistic S5mibionts the most important of the rhizosphere. They form particular structures with the roots of plants, mycorrhizae, which participate in the nutrition of almost all plants. 

Mycorrhizal symbiosis another chemical interaction modei beneficial and essential to the rhizosphere 

Mycorrhizal fungi are incapable of photos5mthesis and are therefore completely dependent for their carbonaceous substances on the plant which they colonize. In turn, they supply nitrogen, phosphorus and other mineral substances which they are capable of mobilizing from the coimection of dieir h hae with the soil. 

Mycorrhizae can be morphologically and phylogenetically classified into two main groups
