Detailed explanation-1: -rhizoid, a short, thin filament found in fungi and in certain plants and sponges that anchors the growing (vegetative) body of the organism to a substratum and that is capable of absorbing nutrients. In fungi, the rhizoid is found in the thallus and resembles a root.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rhizoids develop on the gametophytes of some land plants (liverworts, mosses, hornworts, lycophytes and monilophytes). Root hairs are found only on the roots of the sporophytes of vascular plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -They don’t have roots. Instead they have thin root-like growths called rhizoids that help anchor them.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant body of bryophytes are thallus-like and attached to a substratum by root-like structures called rhizoids. they do not have true root. Rhizoids does the function of anchoring the plant body to the substrate. Q.
