What is a myco-heterotroph?! Well let me tell ya! Myco-heterotrophy is a symbiotic relationship between a plant and fungus, where the plant is a parasite! Instead of photosynthesizing to create food, it steals energy from the fungus. They lack chlorophyll, which is the green pigment found in plants that soaks up energy from sunlight. The term myco-heterotroph is derived from the Greek language, where “myco” stands for “fungus”, “heteros” means “another”, and “troph” means “nutrition”. Coralroots
