root-microbiome
The root microbiome is the complex community of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and archaea—that colonize plant roots and the surrounding rhizosphere environment. These microbial communities are essential to plant health, facilitating nutrient acquisition, enhancing disease resistance, and influencing plant development and physiology. Because roots create unique chemical and physical conditions that support diverse microbial life, the root microbiome represents a critical interface between plants and soil that fundamentally shapes plant growth and productivity.
