The correct answer is C = Rhizoid
In the prothallus (gametophyte) stage of ferns, rhizoids absorb water and minerals from the soil
Rhizome is a horizontal underground stem used for storage and vegetative propagation, not for nutrient absorption.
Absorption of nutrients and water in mature ferns occurs through their roots, which are often thin and wiry and grow from the rhizome (underground stem).
So option A is the correct answer.
this is somehow cuz Rhizopus don't even have rhizomes, they posses only rhizoids
this is somehow cuz Rhizopus don't even have rhizomes, they posses only rhizoids because fungi are non vascular and of course rhizome is a vascular part of a plant or even a plant itself
Pls don't be confused. "root" is typically not used for Rhizopus (or generally fungi)
their roots are called rhizoids not "roots"
the correct answer is rhizoids because they perform similar functions as root of higher plants they absorb water and mineral salt from the soil and also anchor the plants firmly to the substratum
