IN MOSSES THE STRUCTURE WHICH PERFORMS THE FUNCTION OF WATER ABSORPTION IS THE

• A. root hairs
• B. rhizoids ✓
• C. capsule
• D. hyphae

The answer to the question is: B. rhizoids

In mosses, the structure that performs the function of water absorption is the rhizoids. Rhizoids are thread-like structures that extend from the lower part of the moss plant and anchor it to the substrate. They also absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding environment. Unlike true roots, rhizoids do not have specialized tissues for water and nutrient absorption, but they play a similar role in anchoring the plant and facilitating water uptake.
