Jan 21, 2018 · The fungi forms specialized hyphae called arbuscules, which can be found in the roots or phylum of vascular plants, and function to absorb nutrients and water from the soil. In this manner, the hyphae aid the plants by increasing its access to nutrients in the soil while facilitating its own growth.
