Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (c) Gemmae are sexual PROPAGATIVE organs in Liverworts that contain gemmae which further gives rise to a new individual

The best I can explain: In mosses, spores germinate to form protonema, a green creepy structure that further develops into leaf like thallus. Rhizoids HOLD mosses to ground and prevent SOIL erosion. Gemmae are asexual propagative organs in Liverworts that contain gemmae which further gives rise to a new individual. Water is EXTREMELY important for carrying male gamete towards female gamete in order to facilitate sexual reproduction of bryophytes.
