What Wikipedia says

Rhizoids are protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae. They are similar in structure and function to the root hairs of vascular land plants. Similar structures are formed by some fungi and sponges. Rhizoids may be unicellular or multicellular.
