Imagine fungi as tiny helpers that live inside plants. They help the plant get more food from the soil, just like a friend who shares their snacks with you, and in return, the plant gives the fungi some of its own food. This partnership is called mycorrhiza, which means 'fungi roots.' It's one of the coolest ways that nature helps plants grow bigger and stronger.
Examples
- Grass on your lawn grows greener because of tiny fungi living under it.
- A plant in poor soil thrives when it teams up with fungi.
