What is the function of rhizoids?

Rhizoids are thin, root-like structures that anchor simple plants, such as mosses, and help absorb water and nutrients from their surroundings. They do not perform photosynthesis, produce spores, or travel by wind; those functions belong to other parts or stages of a plant’s life cycle. The correct choice is “Rhizoids absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding soil.”
