Partitions of groups and matroids into independent subsets

Can the set \(\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}\) be covered by countably many linearly (algebraically) independent subsets over the field \(\mathbb{Q}\)? We use a matroid approach to show that an answer is ``Yes'' under the Continuum Hypothesis, and ``No'' under its negation.
