Answer:
(d) Fungi form symbiotic association
with the roots of higher plants called mycorrhiza(VAM) e.o, Glomus.
The fungal hyphae symbiont in these
associations absorb phosphorus from soil and passes it to the plant. Plants
having such associations show other benefits also, such as resistance to
root-borne pathogens, tolerance to salinity and draught, and an overall
increase in plant growth and development. Mycorrhiza does not help the host
plant in increasing its resistance to insects.
