Verified by Toppr

Bryophyta (moss) are known as amphibians of the plant Kingdom because they live on the land but require water for their reproduction. These are thallus like without any true root stem or body. The gametophyte is the main plant body which has a leaf-like structure. Bryophytes have parts that look like stem-like and leaf-like structure but not the actual parts.
So, the correct option is 'consists of leafy green shoots'
