How do mycorrhizal fungi help the plants harbouring them?

Explanation

My mycorrhizal fungi absorb phssphorus from the soil and transfer them to the host cells. They also impart resistance to host plants against root pathogens. They also show tolerance to salinity and draught as well as increases overall growth and development of plant. Hence, fungal hyphae help in synthesising organic food and also recieve/get shelter and nourishment from the higher plant.
