Mycorrhizae are a symbiosis, or close, long-term relationship between two or more species. In this case, the species are the roots of a host plant and a mycorrhizal fungus. The word mycorrhizal means 'fungus root' in Greek. Approximately, 95% of vascular plants belong to genera that form mycorrhizal relationships, and it is likely that 80% of plant species associate with mycorrhizal fungi.
