Roots of orchids have an important role in the survival, adaptation, water and nutrient absorption, and as a place of symbiosis with endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungi provide the necessary resources needed to promote seed germination, seedling establishment and survival in Orchids. The present work explores the anatomy of the root and process, extent and pattern of fungal colonization in the roots of twelve orchid species namely Spathoglottis plicata Blume, Peristeria elata Hook, Oncidium flexuosum Sims., Dendrobium crumenatum Sw., Dendrobium var.sonia ,Epidendrum sp., Arachnis flosaeris (L.) Rchb.f., Vanilla sp., Acampe sp., Vanda sp., Phalaenopsis equestris (Schauer)Rchb.f., Phalaenopsis sp.
