The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Liverworts**: Liverworts are non-vascular plants belonging to the division Marchantiophyta. They reproduce both sexually and asexually. 2. **Asexual Reproduction in Liverworts**: In liverworts, asexual reproduction occurs through specialized structures that can develop into new individuals without the need for seeds or spores. 3. **Identifying Specialized Asexual Structures**: The specialized asexual structures in some liverworts are known as **gemmae**. 4. **Characteristics of Gemmae**: - **Multicellular**: Gemmae are made up of multiple cells. - **Green in Color**: They typically have a green coloration due to the presence of chlorophyll. - **Production in Gemma Cups**: Gemmae are produced in cup-like structures called **gemma cups**, which are located on the dorsal side of the thallus (the main body of the liverwort). 5. **Detachment and Growth**: Once gemmae are mature, they detach from the parent plant and can grow into new liverworts, effectively allowing for asexual reproduction. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the characteristics and functions of gemmae, the correct answer to the question about specialized asexual structures in some liverworts is that they are **green multicellular structures that give rise to daughter plants**. **Final Answer**: The specialized asexual structures in some liverworts are **green multicellular structures that give rise to daughter plants**. ---
