The term "Class Cyclosporeae" refers to a group of parasitic and saprophytic fungi that belong to the phylum Glomeromycota. This class is also commonly known as the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Some synonyms for this term include Glomerales, Glomeromycetes, and Glomeromycota. These fungi are essential for the growth and survival of many plant species as they form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. The fungi provide the plants with nutrients while the plants provide the fungi with carbon. These fungi have important implications in agriculture and conservation as they have the ability to increase plant growth and nutrient uptake, as well as reduce the need for fertilizers and herbicides.
