Question

What does the sporophyte of a bryophyte consist of?

Answer 1

Bryophytes:

1. They are non-vascular plants that don't have true stems, leaves, and roots and are classified as plant kingdom amphibians.
2. Bryophyte sporophytes are diploid and multicellular.

Sporophyte:

1. The sporophyte is the diploid generation of a plant that produces haploid spores via meiotic divisions.
2. In bryophytes, the sporophytes are always unbranched and produce a single sporangium (spore-producing capsule), but each gametophyte can give rise to several sporophytes at once.
3. It is made up of a foot, a seta, and a capsule.
4. It is determined by the gametophyte.
