<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

Archy [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<u>The discipline of microbiology has to do with the study of microorganisms - tiny organisms that cannot be seen with the ordinary eyes except with the microscope.</u>

<em>Within the cells of microorganisms just as in every other cell, various biochemical processes take place in order to ensure the continued viability of the cells. Genetic information are also passed on from parent to daughter cells during the process of reproduction or cell division.</em>

Hence, the field of microbiology is associated with both biochemistry and genetics.
