The root like structure of a moss are called "Rhizoids" and the root-like structures on a fern are called "Rhizomes", fungi roots are called mycorrhiza.
Rhizoids
many trees have rhizoids connected to their roots ----------------- Basically all vascular plants have rhizoids (also called root hairs) They also serve as a support structure. Fungi also have them as do mosses and liverworts.
Rhizoids
Mosses are small green plants growing in dense clusters in damp, shady places. Mosses can look like a green carpet. It will grow on fallen logs and at the base of trees or in shady areas. A moss plant body has no roots and has tiny cellular threads that serve as anchors. The structures look like a stem, root or a leaf although the "leaves" of the moss are only thin sheets of cells, usually a single layer.

That would be the rhizoids.

Rhizoids
The rhizoids that can be found at the base of certain plants utilize a capillary action to absorb nutrients and water for the soil they are in by moving them upward so that they can be absorbed.
Nonvascular plants, for instance, the mosses, have root-like structures called rhizoids used to attach themselves to soil, trees, rocks and other structures.

No, rhizoides are unicellular structures of lower plants. These are meant for absorption and anchorage, like root hairs in higher plants.
Rhizoids appear to be root like as they do fullfil the role of griping the plant to the ground stone,branch etc But as they don't fullfil the water and nutrients absorption role like roots that's why they were not considered as true roots
