Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, rhizoids.

Explanation:

Bryophyte is the collective term for hornworts, mosses, and liverworts. Bryology refers to the study of bryophytes. These are the spore-producing plants rather than the seed-producing plants and are devoid of flowers. Bryophytes do not possess true roots, they exhibit root-like anchoring compositions, known as rhizoids.  

Rhizoid is a thin and short filament found in plants like mosses and liverworts, which anchors the vegetative body of the species to a substratum that possesses the tendency of captivating nutrients. The prime function of rhizoids is to help the species of plants to absorb minerals, nutrients, and water.

The human hands and feet have similar types and numbers of bones. However, hands and feet are very different in their appearance
Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u>Explanation:</u>

One physical difference between the hands and feet is that the human hands appear to be more flexible than our feet. Also, in terms of size, our feet are smaller than our hands.

Let's assume that our feet become as flexible as our hands and the hands less flexible, it would affect the function they perform.

  • If for example, we were to walk with our hands we will fail to achieve stability.
  • And if for example, we decide to grab hold of items with our feet we will be unable to do so.

It is also reasonable to expect other primates to have hands and feet that differed from ours because they are necessary so they can adapt to their environment just like humans too.
