Please Mark Me Brainliest

Explanation:

Bryophytes include various species of mosses and liverworts. These groups lack roots, instead they have thin root-like growths called rhizoids. These structures extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes. Rhizoids are similar to structure of root hairs found on more complex vascular plants. These can be unicellular or multicellular unlike roots which are multicellular. Rhizoids function in absorption of water and dissolved minerals by capillary action. These are not called roots because unlike roots, these are not very strong and do not have vascular bundles.
