Solution

Gametophytic plant body is produced by gemma. Asexual reproduction in liverworts takes place by fragmentation of thalli, or by the formation of specialised structures called gemmae. Gemmae are green, multicellular, asexual buds, which develop in small receptacles called gemma cups located on the thalli. The gemmae become detached from the parent body and germinate to form new gametophytic individuals.
