A moss is defined as :
A small green plant lacking flowers or true roots
Mosses belong to the bryophytes, the simplest group of land plants.
They are small, green and photosynthetic, have no flowers or seeds (they reproduce by spores) and have no true roots; they are anchored by thread-like rhizoids and lack vascular tissue.
They are neither shrubs nor trees, and a plant-like organism stuck to rocks better describes a lichen, which is a fungus-alga association.
Hence, A small green plant lacking flowers or true roots.
