About bacterial fimbriae, the statement that is not correct is that they protect the cell from dehydration.

Explanation:

Bacterial fimbriae are extensions of the cytoplasmic membrane, predominantly of a protein nature, which give the bacteria the ability to adhere to surfaces, tissues or other bacteria.

These pilous structures can be present in all bacteria, constituting a factor related to their infectious capacity.  The main function of fimbriae is adhesion, so they do not constitute a protective element against dehydration.

The other options correspond to true characteristics of the bacterial fimbriae.
