Mycorrhizae are a symbiosis, or close, long-term relationship between two or more species. In this case, the species are the roots of a host plant and a mycorrhizal fungus. The word mycorrhizal means 'fungus root' in Greek. Approximately, 95% of vascular plants belong to genera that form mycorrhizal relationships, and it is likely that 80% of plant species associate with mycorrhizal fungi.
What is the function of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium? Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium lines the nasal cavities, trachea, and bronchi. Its function is to protect these structures, secrete mucus by goblet cells, and move mucusâ¦ by cilia. 51 people found this useful.
Ciliated versus Non-ciliated. There are actually two forms of pseudostratified columnar epithelium: ciliated and non-ciliated. Ciliated cells have 200-300 small hair-like protrusions, or cilia, on the luminal surface, while non-ciliated have a smooth apical side.seudostratified columnar epithelium, being thick cells, are useful in the processes of absorbing and secreting substances, as well as creating a barrier between the substance flowing through the cavity space and the underlying tissues.
