The sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than in liverworts. Capsule contain spores . Spores are formed after meiosis. fern- the gametophytes bears male and female organs called antheridia and archegonia respectively.

Fusion of male and female gametes (egg) present in archegonium results in the formation of zygote. zygote produces a multicellular well differentiated sporophyte which is dominant phase of the pteridophytes . read less
