Mycorrhizae result from the union between different fungi and the roots of some trees, thanks to this they are defined as fibonientes; The term mycorrhiza was used for the first time by the forest pathologist botanist of French origin Frank, when carrying out a specialized study of plants in 1877, these properties cover great relevance in the development of orchids. Another botanical scientist named Track described mycorrhiza as absorption organs, these are located wedged in the areas of plant impregnationtotally healthy (such as roots or stems), these are found in terrestrial or aquatic plants; This association between fungus-plant allows an exchange of beneficial benefits for both living organisms, as both are related: the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, necessary for its development as a multicellular organism, thus initiating its life cycle, at its once the fungus allows the plant better uptake of nutrients, minerals and water that are in low proportion in the soil they inhabit; Because the ecological relationship achieves the benefit of both, this process is considered "mutualism".
In a deep way it can be described that the fungus has the ability to wrap and penetrate the roots of the plant to invade, these being in contact with the root of the plant it is possible to penetrate thanks to the presence of intracellular micro spaces called "cortex "; By maintaining this connection, the fungi (or hyphae) continue to develop and multiply rapidly, generating a broad mantle before the feet of the invaded plant. The extensive mantle that was fostered, allows to connect the surrounding spaces of the plant underground with its roots, allowing it to obtain extensive access to the minerals found in the soil around the studied plant; This connection not only gains possibility of absorption ofnutrients, but also generates an interconnection between plants that are distant at first glance, all thanks to a continuous association between hyphae dispersed in a wide spectrum, in this way it can be concluded that mycorrhizae not only generate the survival of plants and fungi, but also have an important contribution to the proper functioning of the ecosystem.
