Solution
The roots of higher plants possess symbiotic mycorrhizae, It is a symbiotic, non-pathoganic association between the roots and soil fungi. Several conifers lack root hair and here the mycorrhizae perform this function. The mycorrhizae are of two types : ectomycorrhizae and endo-mycorrhizae with an intermediate category as endomycorrhizae are Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae(VAM), generally persent in herbaceous plants. Mycorthizae perform the function of root hair, i.e. they absorbs essential ions.
