Symbiotic bacteria are fungi that need to grow with plants, but do not harm plants and they are beneficial to plant growth... However, once the plant has mycorrhiza, a large number of epithelial hyphae can cross the phosphorus-poor zone and absorb phosphorus, water and other nutrients from farther places, thus partially meeting the growth requirements of the plant...

In the beginning, no one was aware of the disastrous environmental consequences of destroying the forest often described as “the lungs of the Earth... farmers cannot meet...
