Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

In ferns, the primary root (the initial root that develops from the embryo) is short-lived and soon disappears. It is replaced by adventitious roots, which arise from the rhizome (the horizontal underground stem). These roots are often fibrous or wiry in texture and serve as the permanent root system for the sporophyte plant, anchoring it and absorbing nutrients.
