B Correct answer
Explanation

Bryophytes like mosses and liverworts lack true roots. Instead, they have root-like structures called rhizoids that anchor them to substrates and absorb water and minerals. Nucleoid is a bacterial DNA region, while thalloid and phylloid refer to body forms, not root structures.
