Mosslike organism (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lichen

(Other definitions for lichen that I've seen before include "Tiny plants found on rocks and trees" , "reindeer nibbles" , "It occurs on rocks or bare ground etc." , "Small plants found on tree-trunks and stones" , "coverage for rock" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
