Question

Rhizoids of hepaticopsida and anthocerotopsida are

• A. Multicellular and branched
• B. Unicellular and unbranched
• C. Unicellular and branched
• D. Multicellular and unbranched

Answer 1

The correct option is B Unicellular and unbranched

Three classes of Bryophytes are: Hepaticae (Liverworts), Anthocerotae (Hornworts) and Musci (Mosses).
Out of three the first two have dorsiventrally flattened plant body with unicellular rhizoids.
The last one i.e., Musci have multicellular branched rhizoids.
The sporophyte in Bryophytes depend upon the gametophyte for their nutrition.

Hence the correct option is B.
