An __________ is a Finely Branched Intracellular Cluster of Fungi

Question

An __________ is a finely branched intracellular cluster of fungi found in plant host cells.
A) Ectomycorrhiza
B) Ectosymbiont
C) Arbuscule
D) Epiphyte

Accepted Answer

An arbuscule is a finely branched intracellular cluster of fungi found in plant host cells. Ectomycorrhiza is a type of mycorrhiza in which the fungal hyphae remain outside the plant cells, while epiphyte is a plant that grows non-parasitically on another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, and sometimes from debris accumulating around it. Ectosymbiont is a general term for any organism that lives outside another organism but has a mutually beneficial relationship with it.
