The leafy stage in some mosses develops from a lateral bud in the secondary protonema. It is a small leafy structure consisting of rhizoid, leaves and stem. It bears the se* organs antheridia and archegonia. Whereas, Protonema is the gametophytic phase of mosses directly develops from haploid spores
