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.
