Answer»

The correct answer is (a) 82%

Best explanation: Almost 80% of PLANTS rely on the mycorrhizal relationship. Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic interaction between fungi and plants. Plants rely on mycorrhiza for the uptake of minerals (nitrogen, phosphorous, etc.) from the soil, while plants SUPPLY essential nutrients such as SUGARS to fungi for their proper growth.
