    Mycorrhizae

    Explanation:

    Mycorrhizae are in a commensalistic relationship with plants is a false statement because mycorrhiza shows symbiotic relationship with plants

    Symbiosis is a type of behavior in which both the species provide benefit to each other in a permanent association Mycorrhizal fungi live in the roots of plants but also produce hyphae (small filaments) that grow out into the soil All plants need phosphate to grow, but it is difficult for plants to obtain enough phosphate because it does not diffuse fast enough towards roots Mycorrhizal fungi act as an extension of the root system and absorb phosphate and transport it back to the plant They exchange the phosphate with the plant for carbohydrates, because of this plants can grow better with the symbiosis
