Question

Why is rhizophore not a true root?

Answer 1

Rhizophore:

1. It is the of the club moss genus Selaginella's leafless dichotomous stems with tufts of adventitious roots at the apex that grows downward.
2. Because it is exogenous, the rhizophore isn't a genuine root.
3. Rhizophores develop many endogenous suckers that enter the soil once they reach the ground.
