RHIZOSPHERE
Rhizosphere refers to the area of soil that is directly affected by a plant’s root
system, associated root secretions, and microorganisms.
The rhizosphere region around a plant’s roots contains an enhanced abundance
of bacteria and microorganisms that depend on the plant’s cells, sugars, and
proteins as a primary food source, increasing and diversifying the microbial
population around the root zone. In exchange, the symbiotic bacteria and
microorganisms help co-create a nutrient-rich and aerated root zone.
