D
Roots
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the question: Taxonomy is the scientific classification of organisms, and the question is asking about the underground structure connecting mushrooms in a fairy ring.
Recall that mushrooms are fungi, and their primary vegetative structure is the mycelium, which is a network of thread-like structures called hyphae.
Differentiate between the options provided: Mycelium is specific to fungi, rhizomes are underground stems found in plants, hyphae of moss are not applicable as mosses are non-vascular plants, and roots are structures in vascular plants for anchoring and nutrient absorption.
Recognize that the mycelium is the correct structure connecting mushrooms underground, as it allows nutrient exchange and growth coordination among the fungi.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'Mycelium' based on the biological characteristics of fungi and the role of mycelium in forming fairy rings.
