The transition of plants from aquatic ecosystems to land >400 million years ago was facilitated by symbiotic fungi that provided mineral nutrients to initially rootless plants. These mycorrhizal symbioses drove plant diversification and have sustained until now. By viewing plant development through a fungal lens, we gain a comprehensive understanding of plant biology that integrates ecological and physiological dynamics at multiple scales. This perspective has profound implications not only for the science of botany and mycology, but also for practical applications in agriculture, forestry and environmental conservation, paving the way for innovative solutions to some of today’s most pressing agricultural challenges.
