Question

VAM contains

• A. Symbiotic bacteria
• B. Saprophytic bacteria
• C. Symbiotic fungi
• D. Saprophytic fungi

Answer 1

The correct option is C Symbiotic fungi

• Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) is formed by the symbiotic association between fungi and angiosperm roots.
• This association is symbiotic because both partners are benefitted. Fungi help in the absorption of nutrients from the soil in turn plants provide food to fungi.
• The fungus colonizes the root cortex forming a mycelial network.

So, the correct answer is option C.
