AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Coralloid Roots**: Coralloid roots are specialized structures found in certain plants, particularly in Cycas. These roots are characterized by their coral-like appearance and are involved in symbiotic relationships. 2. **Identifying the Symbiotic Relationship**: The coralloid roots of Cycas form a symbiotic association primarily with cyanobacteria. This relationship is crucial for the plant's nitrogen fixation process. 3. **Recognizing the Cyanobacteria**: Among the options provided, we need to identify which cyanobacteria is associated with the coralloid roots of Cycas. The options given are: - Anabina - Allocera - Mycorrhiza - Rhizopus 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Anabina**: This is a type of cyanobacteria known to associate with coralloid roots and aid in nitrogen fixation. - **Allocera**: This is not typically associated with coralloid roots. - **Mycorrhiza**: This refers to a symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots, not specifically with cyanobacteria. - **Rhizopus**: This is a genus of fungi and does not relate to the coralloid roots of Cycas. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information, the correct answer is **Anabina**, as it is the cyanobacterium that forms a symbiotic relationship with the coralloid roots of Cycas for nitrogen fixation. **Final Answer**: Anabina ---
