The green leafy moss plant is part of the gametophyte phase of the moss life cycle. Mosses alternate between a gametophyte stage (producing male and female gametes) and a sporophyte stage (producing spores).

Photosynthesis in moss primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of the cells in the green leafy parts, known as the gametophyte. This is where chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into energy for the plant.

The plant you are referring to is likely a moss. Mosses have leafy structures called gametophytes that lack true roots and stems. They anchor themselves to the soil using rhizoids that grow from the leaf-like structures.
The green leafy part of the moss life cycle is known as the gametophyte. This haploid structure is responsible for producing gametes—sperm and eggs—through mitosis. The gametophyte is typically what we recognize as moss, forming a lush green carpet in its environment. Upon fertilization, it gives rise to the diploid sporophyte, which eventually produces spores to continue the life cycle.
No, I believe it's the stalk and leafy part of the plant.
