Rhizoid

Rhizoids are simple hair-like protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes, Rhodophyta and pteridophytes. They are similar in structure and function to the root hairs of vascular land plants. Similar structures are formed by algae and some fungi. Rhizoids are formed from single cells, whereas roots are multicellular organs composed of multiple tissues that collectively carry out a common function.

Plants originated in water, from where they gradually migrated to land during their long course of evolution. In water or near it, plants could absorb water from their surroundings, with no need for any special absorbing organ or tissue. Additionally, in the primitive states of plant development, tissue differentiation and division of labor was minimal, thus the requirement for specialized water absorbing tissue was not required. Once plants colonized land however, they required specialized tissues to absorb water efficiently, and also to anchor themselves to the land.

A Matter Of Rights

by: Reset

She lived silently in a house near the countryside
her parents knew that it was better there
and just like every week she'd go to town that second day
she didn't know that he'd be waiting there
he stole the one thing that she kept untouched so long
stealing her virginity just made him feel so strong
and all the stupid things he'd done so many times
no one can forgive him cause it's crime
forcing himself into her she tries to scream for help
there's no one close enough to hear her cry
at the time she didn't think of what was coming next
but she was stuck with that unwanted child
her country knew about it
but didn't care about her life
their stupid right wing values
got her life turned upside down
"you've got yourself in this mess
the kid is now part of your life!"
"Tell me would you say the same thing
if our roles were switched around?"
begging for abortion her human rights are still denied
the child inside her wasn't supposed to be there
the right wing says:
it's the child or death yeah
