Moss grows and adheres to rock and wood through a combination of its unique structure and environmental adaptations. Mosses have tiny, root-like structures called rhizoids that anchor them to surfaces and absorb water and nutrients. Unlike true roots, rhizoids are simpler and provide only a minimal hold.
