Rhizoid
Rhizoid explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to keep a tent stable during a windy camping trip by using thin ropes tied to the ground. Just like those ropes, rhizoids act as both anchors and nutrient-absorbers for nonvascular plants, securing them to surfaces and providing stability. The ropes keep the tent from blowing away and help maintain its position, much like how rhizoids secure the plant and draw in essential nutrients from the environment, ensuring the plant remains nourished and stable.
