Question:

 Rhizoids of Funaria are...

(1) Unicellular and simple

(2) Unicellular and tuberculatated

(3)Multicellular and branched

(4) Multicellular and unbranched

Answer:

Correct option: (3) Multicellular and branched

Explanation:

In Funaria root like structures called Rhizoids are present. these Rhizoids in Funaria are branched , slender and multicellular. They are stout, brown, almost cable like and form the main anchoring strands. The Rhizoids are colorless in the young stage, but become red or brown at maturity. The rhizoidal branches have oblique cross walls and grow down into soil. They help in anchorage and absorption.

Hence, option (3) "Multicellular and branched" is the correct answer.
