Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological

superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the "wood wide web".

The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few

meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.

The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses

and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.

A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for

plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on

one another for upcoming danger.

Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have

been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for

water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the

necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.

Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients

through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been

conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our

understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out

these complex networks entirely.
