These seed pods from a pine tree growing in our garden have just sprouted

Technically those are cones. And they're not from a pine tree - they look
like they're from a cypress. And I would interpret the green bits as
shoots growing from the stems to which the cones are attached.

Yes, I'd agree with that.
