The sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than in liverworts. Capsule contain spores . Spores are formed after meiosis....

Mosses- the organs antheridia and archegonia are produced at the apex of the leafy shoots. After fertilization, zygote develops in to a sporophyte consisting of foot, seta and capsule. 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. Water is required for the transfer of antherozoids -the male gametes to the mouth of archegonium. 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

Nonflowering Plants. To reproduce sexually, mosses and ferns produce sperm and eggs. ... Ferns produce spores on the backs of their fronds in cases called sporangia. Mosses produce spores in capsules that are borne on the ends of stalks
