Root like structure in saprotrophic fungi are called_______________?
Correct answer: A. Rhizodis
- A. Rhizodis
- B. Haustoria
- C. Hyphae
- D. Constricting rings
Explanation
Rhizoids are root-like hyphal structures that anchor saprotrophic fungi and help absorb nutrients from the substrate; option a is evidently intended to spell rhizoids. Haustoria are specialized absorptive structures of parasitic fungi that penetrate a living host, so choosing them confuses saprotrophy with parasitism.
