Cooperative Root Foraging: Maximizing Group Fitness for Optimal Resource Acquisition

In the Pareto or cooperative solution, the root foraging strategy of each individual is such that the total fitness of the group is maximized. This means that individuals cooperate and coordinate their foraging efforts to ensure the overall success and survival of the group. They may share resources, communicate with each other, and work together to optimize their foraging efficiency. The goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for the entire group, rather than focusing solely on individual fitness.
