Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

Pinus and orchid seeds cannot germinate and develop into plants in the absence of mycorrhizal association. In mycorrihzal association, the fungal hyphae are specialised for absorption of water and minerals by extending sufficient distance into soil. The mycorrhizal association between fungus and roots of plant are obligate. Absorption of water along with mineral is an active absorption and followed by osmosis. Fungus are heterotrophic
