<h2>Rhizoids absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding soil. </h2>

Explanation:

Rhizoids are primitive root like structure in lower plants like bryophytes and sin fungi. Rhizoids are usually unicellular. However many plants exhibit multicellularity. Rhizoids functions as the roots in these plant,by absorbing water and nutrient from the surrounding soil. They may contain enzymes which helps in extracellular digestion in orgsnidm which have saprotrophic  mode of nutrition.Rhizoids provide a little anchorage to the substratum.

<h2>Function of rhizoids</h2>

Explanation:

Rhizoids absorb water and minerals from the surrounding soil

  • Rhizoids are simply the root hairs on the underside of the thallus especially in some mosses and liverworts which helps in support or absorption
  • Rhizoids originated from a single cell and helps in absorption of water between threads in a process called capillary action;they are involved in the uptake and transport of water from the substrate in case of liverworts
  • Rhizoids of some species(like Chara) contain a higher concentration of mineral nutrients and take up nitrate,ammonia and phosphates from sediments
  • They also form mycorrhiza like association with fungi which helps in  increasing the uptake of nutrients from the soil

Why is it important for a person to receive a blood type and Rh factor that is compatible with his or her own blood?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Hey!

Here's why its important:-

When a foreign antigen reaches one’s blood, it stimulates the defense  mechanism. On receiving unmatching blood, the antigen present  in the donor's blood and the antibody present in the recipient's  blood will react with each other and form a blood clot. Hence,  everyone cannot receive blood from all blood groups.
