The correct answer is: a- Thallus and b-Rhizoids
Mosses are the bryophytes with gametophytic plant body, e.g., Funaria. On the lower portion of leafy gametophore (thallus) of moss, numerous branched multicellular rhizoids with oblique septa are present. These rhizoids are meant for the purpose of attachment or anchorage to the substratum.
