Homosporous is a condition in which identical spores, the same sized spores are produced. Such morphologically identical spores grow into bisexual gametophytes in some of the members (monoecious plants). Hence, in the homosporous condition, all spores would be of the same type. However, in the heterosporous condition, two different types of spores are produced wherein one would have the capability to form the male and the other the female gametophyte.
