Every plant has root system(under groud parts) & shoot system(aerial parts like stem, leaf,flower, etc).

Roots are the parts of root system, brown in colour, have no vegetative buds, nodes & internodes; present in all plants. root take part in absorption of water and minerals from the soil mainly.

Rhizomes are the underground modified stems. They grow parellel to the earth surface, having nodes & inter nodes as stem; brown in colour, have shoot buds. but they have scale leafs instead of green leafs. Rhizomes take part in storage of food meterial & vegetative propagation.

Yes, seedless nonvascular plants like mosses and liverworts do not have true roots, stems, or leaves. Instead, they have simple structures called rhizoids that help anchor them to a substrate and absorb water and nutrients from the environment. Rhizoids are structurally different from roots and serve a similar function in these plants.

How are roots different rhizoids?

Roots are multicellular structures found in vascular plants that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Rhizoids, on the other hand, are single-celled structures found in non-vascular plants like mosses and liverworts that help anchor the plant and absorb water, but not nutrients, from the surrounding environment. Roots have specialized tissues for transporting nutrients, while rhizoids do not.
