| We defined above-ground biomass of mosses as the loose individual stems of mosses above the network of roots, rhizomes and rhizoids of the organic turf. |
| The zoospore encysted and within 24 hrs branched rhizoids formed and the cyst began to enlarge to form a zoosporangium. |
| The protonema forms a flat, lobed, thalloid structure attached to the soil by rhizoids, and the plants arise from marginal cells. |
| We know that the plant forms structures called rhizoids that could produce new growth. |
| It is likely that the rhizoids absorb water, but only because almost everything in a moss absorbs water. |
| The other end manifests an array of long, filamentous rhizoids that have the appearance, and apparently serve the same function, as root hairs. |
