| Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi | Extended hyphae through the root cell wall and into tubes formed by invagination of the root cell membrane |
| Ectomycorrhizal mycorrhizal fungi | Form sheaths of hyphae over the root and also grow into the extracellular spaces of the root cortex |
| Xylem | the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root |
