Solution

The correct option is B Bryophytes
Bryophytes are the non-vascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent multicellular haploid gametophyte. Bryophytes include the mosses and liverworts that are found commonly growing in moist shaded areas in the hills. The plant body of bryophytes is more differentiated than that of algae. It is thallus-like and maybe prostrate or erect. They lack true roots. The plant body is attached to the substratum by root-like structures called rhizoids. The rhizoids may be unicellular or multicellular.
