The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct description of rhizoids in Funaria, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of Funaria**: - Funaria is a type of moss, and its height ranges from 3 to 5 centimeters. It has a body with radial symmetry. 2. **Identify the Components of Funaria**: - Funaria consists of three main structures: a stem, leaves (called phyloids), and rhizoids. Rhizoids are root-like structures that help in absorption. 3. **Analyze the Characteristics of Rhizoids**: - Rhizoids in Funaria are characterized as multicellular structures. This means they are made up of more than one cell. 4. **Determine the Color of Rhizoids**: - The rhizoids are described as colorless, meaning they do not have any pigmentation. 5. **Examine the Type of Septa**: - The septa in the rhizoids of Funaria are oblique, which refers to the angle at which the cell walls (septa) are oriented. 6. **Evaluate the Options**: - (a) Colorless, multicellular with transverse septa - Incorrect, as they have oblique septa. - (b) Colorless, multicellular with oblique septa - Correct, matches the characteristics. - (c) Colorless and unicellular - Incorrect, as rhizoids are multicellular. - (d) Colored and multicellular - Incorrect, as rhizoids are colorless. 7. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **(b) Colorless, multicellular with oblique septa**.
