Solution

Asexual reproduction in liverwort:
Liverworts belong to the plant division Marchantiophyta.
They are non-vascular (no xylem and phloem for transportation of water and food) plants.
They have a dominant gametophyte stage (haploid stage).
Asexual reproduction in liverworts occurs via the fragmentation process of thalli.
Fragmentation involves the process of growth of a new organism from a fragment of the parent body.
Liverworts also reproduce via gemmae.
Gemmae are mass of cells, that form a bud, this bud tissue dissociates from the plant and develops into a new organism.
