Correct option is B
Correct option: (b) , Hyphae
The thread-like structure in Rhizopus is called a hypha.
- Rhizopus is a type of fungus (often referred to as black bread mold) that grows in the form of a network of these thread-like structures. The hyphae form the main body of the fungus and are collectively referred to as the mycelium.
- These hyphae spread out in the substrate, absorb nutrients, and can produce reproductive structures like sporangia, which contain spores.
So, the hyphae are the thread-like structures in Rhizopus responsible for growth and nutrient absorption.
