Is archegonium a sporophyte or gametophyte?


Open in App
Solution

Archegonium:

  1. Archegonium is the female gametophyte.
  2. It is flask-shaped and produces a single egg.
  3. This egg then fuses with the antherozoid to form the zygote which is the sporophyte.
  4. Thus, archegonium is a gametophyte, not a sporophyte.
