Two different species of plants X and Y live together as if they are parts of the same plant Z. The plant X is an autotroph, whereas plant Y is a saprophyte. The plant Y holds the cells of X in its mat of web-like hyphae and supplies water and minerals to cells of plant X. The plant X makes food by photosynthesis and shares it with plant Y.
