Green growth on a tree trunk (4)

I believe the answer is:

moss

(Other definitions for moss that I've seen before include "Supermodel Kate, b.1974" , "Stirling or Kate?" , "Spore-bearing plant; bog" , "Shape of pointed arch" , "Matted growth on trees, etc." .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
