What are the functions of the outer layers of microsporangium?

Answer 1

Microsporangium

1. Microsporangia are sporangia that produce microspores, which germinate and produce male gametophytes.
2. All vascular plants with heterosporic life cycles, such as seed plants, spike mosses, and the aquatic fern genus Azolla, have microsporangia.
3. Plants have a minute structure called microsporangium. When they germinate, their primary role is to produce gametes.
4. Microsporangia has the following functions:
   1. Pollens that are still forming are protected by it.
   2. It aids in the dehiscence of the anther, allowing pollen to be released.
