Question

Difference between sporophylls and sporangia.

Answer 1

Definitions:​

1. The leaf that bears sporangia is called sporophyll.
2. A sporangium is a sac-like structure found in plants and some organisms in which spores are formed and stored.

Differences:

Sporophylls	Sporangia
The leaf that bears sporangia is called sporophyll.	A sporangium is a sac-like structure found in plants and some organisms in which spores are formed and stored.
The sporophyll that bear male sporangium is called microsporophyll and the sporophyll that bear female sporangium is called macrosporophyll.	The sporangium bearing male spores (microspores) is called microsporangium and the sporangium bearing female spores (megaspores) is called megasporangium.
These are diploid in nature.	In sporangia meiosis occurs to form the haploid spores.
They are leaf like structures in plants.	These are capsule like structures bearing spores.
These are borne on stem like structures or stem.	These are borne in leaf like structures called sporophylls.
