I can't agree. Moss is just plant. Correct answer is a lichen. It's a composite organism made up from fungus and cyanobacteria, which is photosynthetic organism. Example of lichen could be Map lichen (Rhizocarpon geographicum), or Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica), which, despite it's name, isn't the moss.

Not all lichens have cyanobacteria as the non-fungal partner.

Yup. Some have an algae.
