The answer is root hairs.

Rhizoids derive from epidermal cells of bryophytes. They are hair-like structures similar to roots of vascular plants. But, they are unicellular structures, unlike roots, which are multicellular. Not only they look alike, but they have similar functions as roots. The functions of rhizoids are the absorption of water and minerals from the soil and a support of the bryophytes.
