What are the characteristics of mycorrhizal fungi that make them unique from tree roots in their ability to obtain nutrients and water? They have a higher surface area for absorbing nutrients and water They have enzymes capable of acquiring inorganic nutrients from organic matter They grow faster than tree roots They are carbon based They are much smaller than tree roots
