Root hairs in tracheophytes are similar to rhizoids in bryophytes as both structures aid in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. However, root hairs are multicellular extensions of roots, while rhizoids are single-celled structures that anchor bryophytes to the substrate and absorb water.
Rhizoids help bryophytes attach to the substrate. These are hair-like structures that anchor the plants into the soil or other surfaces and also aid in water and nutrient absorption.
In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant, free-living stage of the life cycle. It is the structure responsible for producing gametes and supporting fertilization. The gametophyte in bryophytes usually grows independently from the sporophyte, which is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition and support.
Bryophytes do not have organized root system as in case of vascular plants. The absorption of water and minerals take place through rhizoides.
In bryophytes, fertilization typically takes place in the archegonium, which is the female reproductive structure. The sperm swims through water to reach the egg inside the archegonium, where fertilization occurs.
They are called rhizoids.

Yes, for example Bryophytes have no defined root, stem and leaves. Still they are regarded as plants.

Bryophytes are small, low growing plants that are found in moist environments. Bryophytes do not have lignified tissue. Lignified tissue is hard like a tree bark.

The major characters of bryophytes include their small size, lack of vascular tissue, reproduction through spores, and reliance on moisture for reproduction and survival. They are typically found in damp environments such as forests and wetlands.
A) Root systems, C) Angiosperms, and D) Gymnosperms are all associated with vascular plants. Bryophytes are non-vascular plants and do not have true roots or vascular tissues. Shoot systems are present in both vascular and non-vascular plants.
