They are called rhizoids.
What has the author E Vernon Watson written?
E. Vernon Watson has written: 'The structure and life of bryophytes' -- subject(s): Bryophytes
Which structure is like a root in the bryophytes?
Rhizoids in bryophytes are root-like structures that help anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and nutrients from the environment. They lack the specialized tissues found in true roots, such as the vascular tissues for transport of water and nutrients.
Do bryophytes have lignified tissue?
Bryophytes are small, low growing plants that are found in moist environments. Bryophytes do not have lignified tissue. Lignified tissue is hard like a tree bark.
Why arent bryophytes found in desert?
Bryophytes are not found in deserts because they depend on water, and deserts have little to no water.Clarification:While bryophytes are not common in deserts, there are a few species that do live and survive quite well in the desert. They had been able to adapt to the dry environment.
What is a thin rootlike structure called that anchors moss and absorbs water and nutrients?
Rhizoids are the thin rootlike structures in moss that anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and nutrients. They are not true roots but serve a similar function in moss.
Is the gametophyte not free living in bryophytes?
In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant, free-living stage of the life cycle. It is the structure responsible for producing gametes and supporting fertilization. The gametophyte in bryophytes usually grows independently from the sporophyte, which is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition and support.
Are archegonia haploid or diploid?
Archegonia are haploid structures found in plants. They are part of the female reproductive structure and are responsible for producing the egg cells.
What does the term endosperm haustoria mean?
Endosperm means the tissue that is found when like a flowering plant is undergoing fertilization. Haustoria is something found that absorbs the nutrients or water of another plant. Endosperm Haustoria is basically a rootlike structure that absorbs the nutrients of a plant when it is in its fertilization stage(the plant is flowering).
What is a bundle of rootlike strands that attaches algae to rocks?
Holdfast is the bundle of rootlike strands that attaches algae to rocks.
How would you describe the origin of bryophytes?
Comparative study of the plant groups show that the bryophytes have forms more complex than the algae but they are less developed than the pteridophytes although there is a tendency of differentiation of the gametophytic body which is not found in the pteridophytes
