Solution
The correct option is D Rhizomes The first plants to appear after a forest fire are the ferns, this is because of the survival of their rhizomes. Rhizoids are root like structures (not true roots), that consist of single greatly elongated cells, water and mineral salts are absorbed over the whole structure. Rhizoids anchor the prothallus to the soil. They remain intact inside the soil even after a forest fire.
