Rhizoids are unicellular absorbtive hairs and their function is absorption
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.
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.
Rhizoids
Vascular plants have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients throughout the plant, allowing for greater size and complexity compared to nonvascular plants, which lack these tissues. Vascular plants also have true roots, stems, and leaves, while nonvascular plants usually have simpler structures like rhizoids for anchorage. Vascular plants reproduce through seeds or spores, while nonvascular plants rely on spores for reproduction.
Nonvascular plants help prevent soil erosion by anchoring themselves with rhizoids. They contribute to nutrient cycling and soil formation. Nonvascular plants provide habitat and food for various organisms. They play a role in carbon sequestration and help mitigate climate change. These plants can survive in harsh environments where vascular plants may struggle. Some nonvascular plants have medicinal properties and are used in traditional medicine. They contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

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. :)
Rhizoids
Nonvascular plants, for instance, the mosses, have root-like structures called rhizoids used to attach themselves to soil, trees, rocks and other structures.

They are called rhizoids. Look it up, and I hope this helped - Sciencey

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.
Nonvascular plants are small because they lack the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) needed to transport water and nutrients efficiently throughout their structures. Without these tissues, nonvascular plants are limited in their ability to grow larger and more complex structures.
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]
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.
