Solution

The correct option is B Rhizoids
Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants, such as mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They don't have roots. Instead, they have thin root-like growths called rhizoids that help anchor them. Because they don't have roots and stems to transport water, mosses dry out very quickly, so they are usually found in moist habitats. The only place they don't grow is in saltwater.

So, the correct answer is 'B'.
