Solution

The correct option is B rhizoid
The plant body of bryophytes is thallus-like or erect and lack true roots. They are anchored to the surface or substrate by root-like structures called rhizoids.
The thallus is a term for 'plant body' which lacks specialised tissues such as leaves, stem, and roots.
Gemmule is an asexually produced mass of cells capable of developing into a new organism.
