Do seedless nonvascular plants have rhizoids instead of leafes?
no it does not.
What are threadlike roots of nonvascular plants that absorb and distribute water directly through their cell wall?
Rhizoids
Do seed plants produce rhizoids?
No, seeds plants do not produce rhizoids.
What is the structures of nonvascular plant?
Nonvascular plants such as liverworts and mosses don't have this kind of tissue. Without lignified vascular tissue, this liverwort cannot transport nutrients or water from its rhizoids to other cells that are more than a few millimeters away.
What forms the largest group of nonvascular plants?
mosses are the largest group of nonvascular plants.
Do seedless nonvascular plants have rhizoids instead of leafes?
no it does not.
What is the difference between vascular and nonvascular?
vascular plants have roots and can be seedless or it may have seeds. a nonvascular plant are always seedless and have rhizoids instead of roots. :)
What are threadlike roots of nonvascular plants that absorb and distribute water directly through their cell wall?
Rhizoids
How are nonvascular plants attached to the soil?
Nonvascular plants, for instance, the mosses, have root-like structures called rhizoids used to attach themselves to soil, trees, rocks and other structures.
Why are nonvascular plants small?
Nonvascular plants are smaill becuase they don't have roots the have rhizoids which is why they are so low to the ground and they don't have a vascular system. :) CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU CNU
Do seed plants produce rhizoids?
No, seeds plants do not produce rhizoids.
What is the difference between vascular plants and nonvascular plants?
The difference is that vascular plants can grow very large because they have xylem and phloem to carry water, nutrients and food to all their parts. Nonvascular plants do not have xylem and phloem so each cell has to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and air.
What is the structures of nonvascular plant?
Nonvascular plants such as liverworts and mosses don't have this kind of tissue. Without lignified vascular tissue, this liverwort cannot transport nutrients or water from its rhizoids to other cells that are more than a few millimeters away.
What is the function of the rhizoids?
1. Rhizoids keep plants attached on the soil 2. Rhizoids absorb water and nutrients Rhizoids utilize capillary action to absorb water by moving the water up them for absorption by certain plants, sponges and fungi. They use the same methods to absorb nutrients. Edit : to obtain water [GradPoint/Novanet]
Do non-vascular plants have roots?
Sort of...instead of having normal roots like normal vascular plants have, nonvascular plants like bryophytes (moss) have rhizoids that help anchor them to soil.
Plants that do not have system of tubes are called?
plants that do not have tubes
What are the hairlike fibers in a nonvascular plant called?
They are called rhizoids. Look it up, and I hope this helped - Sciencey
