I had this question on my exam and i am confused because as far as i know that
move $t0, $a0 # COPY $A0 TO $T0
in MIPS instruction provides that and MIPS is a RISC processor. Am I missing something?

Move
is a pseudo-instruction, and when assembled will really be a different instruction.For instance
move $t0, $zero
gets implemented asaddu $t0, $zero, $zero
