Solution

During reproduction in moss when male and female gamete fuse they form zygot which give rise to the sporophyte. The sporophyte consists of three parts, a foot which anchors it and transfer water and nutrients to it, a long erect stalk called a seta, and a pod-like capsule in which spores are produced. Spores are produced when spore producing cells inside the capsule undergo meiosis to form spores.
