Our relationship is mutualistic, because I receive the nutrients that Bob makes, and I help give him mineral nutrients from the soil such as phosphorus! I was told by Bob that 95% of the plants need people like me to survive! That sounded so cool. Thanks to me, Bob is growing very fast, and that makes me very happy. My neighbouring Mycorrhiza friend Joe told me that plants were getting attacked by aphids! Hence, I quickly started producing chemicals that repelled aphids and attracted aphid-eating wasps!

At least the modern humans all appreciate us. They understand that we are a cornerstone to the environment, and we store lots of carbon, so we help with the global warming
