🌱Plants and fungi have a mutually beneficial relationship called mycorrhizae.
🌍Plants can communicate with each other through an underground network.
🍃Plants share nutrients and resources with each other through this network.
🌿Plants use the network to warn each other of threats and communicate about attacks.
🍄This connection between plants and fungi is vital for their survival and growth.
What is mycorrhizae?
—Mycorrhizae is a mutually beneficial relationship between plants and fungi, where the fungi help the plants absorb nutrients from the soil.
How do plants communicate through the underground network?
—Plants release chemicals when they are attacked or stressed, which can be detected by neighboring plants through the network.
Why do plants share nutrients and resources?
—Sharing resources allows plants to thrive, especially in shaded areas where sunlight is limited.
Do all plants have this connection with fungi?
—Yes, nearly all plant species have a symbiotic relationship with fungi.
How does this underground network benefit plants?
—The network provides plants with access to a warning system and allows for the sharing of nutrients, improving their overall health and survival.
