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.

Do seed plants produce rhizoids?
No, seeds plants do not produce rhizoids.
How do non-vascular plants anchor themselves in the soil?
Non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have special tissues to transport water and nutrients. Instead, they anchor themselves in the soil using structures called rhizoids. Rhizoids are root-like structures that provide anchorage, help absorb water, and aid in nutrient absorption, although they do not have the same complexity and functionality as true roots found in vascular plants.
What are rhizoids and what is their function for nonvascular plants?
Rhizoids are unicellular absorbtive hairs and their function is absorption
What is the function of a mosses Rhizoid?
Rhizoids are thin, rootlike structures that anchor the moss and help absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
What are threadlike roots of nonvascular plants that absorb and distribute water directly through their cell wall?
Rhizoids
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]
What function of the root-like rhizoids at the base of the plant perform?
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.
Do seed plants produce rhizoids?
No, seeds plants do not produce rhizoids.
What is a root like system of threads which supply moss with water and nutrients?
That would be the rhizoids.
What anchors mosses to the ground?
Long thin cells that anchor mosses to the ground rhizoids. Is tissue specialized to conduct water and nutrients is the vascular tissue.
How do you use rhizoid in a sentence?
Moss contains rhizoids that anchor the moss and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
What is a thin rootlike structure called that anchors moss and absorbs water and nutrients?
They are called 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 function of a rhizoid?
Rhizoids are thin, rootlike structures that anchor the moss and help absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
