What are the root like structures in non vascular plant?

Non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, have root-like structures called rhizoids. Rhizoids anchor the plants to the substrate and help absorb water and nutrients, although they are not true roots and do not have the same structure or function. Unlike vascular plants, non-vascular plants rely on diffusion for nutrient and water transport due to their lack of specialized vascular tissues.
