Examples of rhizoid in the following topics:
-
- Mosses are bryophytes that live in many environments and are characterized by their short flat leaves, root-like rhizoids, and peristomes.
- In the tundra, the mosses' shallow rhizoids allow them to fasten to a substrate without penetrating the frozen soil.
- Additionally, mosses are anchored to the substrate, whether it is soil, rock, or roof tiles, by multicellular rhizoids.
- Rhizoids form at the base of the gametophore.
-
- In a bryophyte, all the conspicuous vegetative organs, including the photosynthetic leaf-like structures, the thallus, stem, and the rhizoid that anchors the plant to its substrate, belong to the haploid organism, or gametophyte.
-
- The area inside the circle contains bulbous underground stems called corms and root-like structures called rhizoids.
-
- Those that land on a suitable substrate germinate and form a heart-shaped gametophyte, which is attached to the ground by thin filamentous rhizoids.
