    I guess plants can also grow without mycorrhiza associations or nitrogen fixing bacteria. But otherwise you could probably add fungi/bacteria into the mix, too. I don’t think we are even close to understand all the different interactions between various microorganisms with larger organisms with plants. Even pathogenic associations are sometimes net positive for plants.
