Rhizoids are root-like structures that anchor non-vascular plants and lack vascular tissue, while rhizomes are modified underground stems with nodes that serve for both anchorage and vegetative reproduction. Rhizoids primarily provide stability without significant nourishment, while rhizomes enable horizontal growth and nutrient storage for asexual reproduction.
