Question

VAM is component of _________

• A. Ectomycorhiza
• B. Endomycorhiza
• C. Green manure
• D. Mycoherbicides

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Endomycorhiza

The ectomycorrhiza is an association that takes place at the surface of the roots whereas the endomycorrizal fungi penetrate into the root cortex and form arbuscules within the root cells.

Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) is a fungus that penetrates the roots of a vascular plant and helps them to capture the nutrients from the soil.

So, VAM is a component of endomycorhiza.
