• Rhizobium - Parasite is the roots of leguminous plants

• Mycorrhiza - Mineral uptake from soil

• Yeast - Production of biogas

• Azospirillum - Symbiotic N₂ - fixing bacterium

Answer 1

Mycorrhiza - Mineral uptake from soil

Explanation:

The symbiotic relationship between a fungus and the roots of a higher plant is known as Mycorrhiza. There are two basic types: Endomycorrhizae form their associations within the host's cells, whilst Ectomycorrhizae are found on the surface of the root and aid in direct mineral absorption over a wide area. Azospirilum is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria that lives on trees, while Rhizobium is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the roots of leguminous plants.
