Answer 1

The two symbiotic relationship between microbes and plant are:

* Mycorhizal association: The fungi is found in the symbiotic relationship with the root of higher plants. The fungal partner provides the nutrients to the plant. The fungal parter provides mainly phosphate to the plant. The plant provides shelter and food to the fungus in return. The fungus solubilise the inorganic compound into minerals and provide it to the plant.

That's why there is found mutual relationshio between plant and fungus.

* Symbiotic association with bacteria: There are many bacterias that can undergo the symbiotic association with plants. Such bacteria are either found inside the plant or in close vicinity to the plant or we can say that in the rhizoplane. The Rhizobium is the example of endosymbiotic association. Rhizobium fixes the nitrogen into ammonia and provide the nitrogen content to the plant. Plant provides shelter and food in return to the bacteria. The bacteria also solubilise the inorganic materials into mineral and in this way provides the minerals to the plant.
