Solution

The location of archegonia in gymnosperms:

  1. In ferns and mosses, archegonium is the female reproductive organ.
  2. Some gymnosperms, such as cycads and conifers, have archegonium.
  3. It's a flask-shaped structure with a neck and one or more layers of cells, as well as a swelling base—the ventr—that holds the egg.
  4. Megagametophytes have Archegonium implanted in them.
  5. Archegonia are normally found on the surface of the plant thallus, though they are embedded in hornworts.
