What is the thread-like structure in Rhizopus?
Spores
Hyphae
Sporangia
Blobs
Hyphae
Rhizopus, a genus of common saprophytic fungi, exhibits a body structure composed of fine, thread-like filaments known as hyphae. These hyphae collectively form a dense, branching network called a mycelium, which is responsible for nutrient absorption from the substrate.

Rhizopus is a member of the Zygomycota phylum and is commonly studied in biology under the classification of bread molds (Kingdom Fungi).
Rhizopus is a saprophytic fungus commonly known as bread mold.
Hyphae are the tubular filaments that make up the mycelium.
Sporangia are the reproductive structures that produce spores.
Mycelium: The entire mass of hyphae forming the body of the fungus.
Sporangia: Small, spherical structures at the tips of hyphae that hold asexual spores.
Option A (Spores): These are the reproductive units, not the thread-like structure.
Option C (Sporangia): These are the containers for spores, not the filaments themselves.
B is correct тАФ Hyphae are the fundamental thread-like filaments that constitute the vegetative body of Rhizopus.
In competitive exams, remember that Rhizopus reproduces asexually via spore formation; this connects directly to 'Reproduction' chapters in Biology where spore-bearing organisms (Rhizopus, ferns, mosses) are frequently tested.
