Why is so little known about viroids
Both Viroids and Prions have nucleic acid, but Viroids have no outer protein coat.
Infectious naked strands of RNA are called viroids. Viroids are small, circular pieces of RNA that can infect plants and disrupt their normal growth and development.
the viroids harm the plants that are ifected with them by giving the plants some harmful thing
bot necesserily
I believe that is what biologists call "viroids", which are much smaller than viruses, and as of yet are not completely understood. but if your asking for the answer for your homework and its not "viroids" its definitely "microbes" your welcome 100% on my tests ;)

No, viroids do not infect or affect humans. They only infect plants, where they can cause diseases by interfering with the host plant's cellular processes.
yes
Yes, viroids are solely composed of RNA. They are small, circular RNA molecules that do not encode proteins and are known to cause diseases in plants. Unlike viruses, viroids lack a protein coat and rely on host cellular mechanisms for replication. Their simplicity distinguishes them from more complex infectious agents.
yes . viroids have RNA but in naked condition.
Virus and viroids
