- The organ by which a parasite absorbs nutrients from the host plant. In longitudinal section it resembles a root ball in structure.
- A specialized branch of a hypha formed inside a host cell by certain plant-parasitic fungi (especially obligate parasites) in order to obtain nutrients. (Pl. haustoria.) (16)
- In certain symbiotic fungi, specialized hyphae that can penetrate the tissues of host organisms.
- A specialised hyphal invagination of plant cells. Commonly found in biotrophic associations. Thought to be the site of uptake of organic nutrients by the fungus.
