Summary
A synthesis and reinterpretation of the rootless sporophytes of Horneophyton lignieri, Aglaophyton majus, Rhynia gwynne-vaughanii and Nothia aphylla preserved in the Rhynie chert shows that the sporophyte rooting structures of all four plants comprised regions of plagiotropic axes that developed unicellular rhizoids on their underside.
