What does not have ordinary roots or leaves?

Some plants, like fungi and algae, do not have ordinary roots or leaves. Instead, they may have structures such as rhizoids or thalli that serve similar functions. These organisms typically absorb nutrients directly through their structure or from their surroundings.


Do seed plants produce rhizoids?

No, seed plants do not produce rhizoids. Rhizoids are small, hair-like structures found in non-vascular plants like mosses and liverworts, and they play a role in anchoring the plant to the substrate and absorbing water and nutrients. Seed plants have roots that perform similar functions but are more complex in structure.


Do seedless nonvascular plants have rhizoids instead of leafes?

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.


Do ferns have rhizoids?

Yes, ferns have rhizoids. Rhizoids are thread-like structures that anchor the fern to the substrate and aid in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. They are not considered true roots, but they serve a similar function in ferns.


A seedless vascular plant's roots are analogous to which structures in a nonvascular plant?

A seedless vascular plant's roots are analogous to the simple rhizoids in nonvascular plants. Rhizoids are similar to roots in function, as they anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and nutrients. However, rhizoids lack vascular tissue found in roots.

What is a thin rootlike structure called that anchors moss and absorbs water and nutrients?

Rhizoids are the thin rootlike structures in moss that anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and nutrients. They are not true roots but serve a similar function in moss.

What plant phylum doMosses and liverworts belong to?

Botanically, mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They can be distinguished from the apparently similar liverworts (Merchantiophyta or Hepaticae) by their multi-cellular rhizoids. Other differences are not universal for all mosses and all liverworts, but the presence of clearly differentiated "stem" and "leaves", the lack of deeply lobed or segmented leaves, and the absence of leaves arranged in three ranks, all point to the plant being a moss. They both are considered, by botanists, to be bryophytes.


Mosses do not have true stems or leaves true or false?

Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules above the leafy part of the plant containing spores. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed by rhizoids (similar to roots) and produce new buds which give rise to new stems.


Structures that are similar are called?

Structures that are similar are called analogous structures. These structures may serve similar functions but have evolved independently in different species.
