Vedclass · Answer

(C) Many members of the genus $Glomus$ form symbiotic associations with plants,which are known as mycorrhiza. In this association,the fungal symbiont absorbs phosphorus from the soil and passes it to the plant. Plants having such associations show other benefits like resistance to root-borne pathogens,tolerance to salinity and drought,and an overall increase in plant growth and development. Therefore,$Glomus$ acts as a biofertilizer.
