Rhizoids, in fungi, are small branching hyphae that grow downwards from the stolons that anchor the fungus. They release digestive enzymes and absorb digested organic material.
Rhizoids, in bryophytes, are root-like structures that anchors the plant to the ground.
Rhizoids are a structure (as a hypha of a fungus) that functions like a root in support or absorption.
Rhizoids are related primarily to heterotrophic nutrition.
