The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ectomycorrhiza**: Ectomycorrhiza refers to the symbiotic association between fungi and the roots of higher plants. This relationship is essential for nutrient exchange. 2. **Nutrient Absorption**: Ectomycorrhiza plays a crucial role in the absorption of essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) from the soil. 3. **Storage Location**: The nutrients absorbed by ectomycorrhiza are stored specifically in the host plant's tissues. 4. **Identifying the Correct Storage Tissue**: Among the options provided (root hairs, fungal mantle, host epidermis, host cortex), it is important to identify where these nutrients are stored. 5. **Conclusion**: Ectomycorrhiza stores nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium primarily in the **host cortex** of the plant. **Final Answer**: Ectomycorrhiza absorbs and stores nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium in the **host cortex**. ---
