The rostellum ends in a holdfast by which the cell is fixed to the gut wall of its host.
At the base of the stalk is the holdfast , which cements the alga to the rock and prevents it from being washed away.
Lattice panels, wires, or rough surfaces give tendrils and holdfasts a place to latch onto.
Furthermore, the facts that crowns and holdfasts rarely occur attached but that each is preserved with attached incomplete columns, suggest that crowns were broken from their holdfasts prior to burial.
Heavy grazing may damage and weaken the holdfasts which anchor the algae.
