Zooidogamous oogamy is a form of sexual reproduction where one biflagellate antherozoid fuses with the egg produced by the archegonium to give rise to a zygote.
This zygote is a sporophyte with a multicellular body and remains attached to the photosynthetic gametophyte for its nutrition.
This is a characteristic feature of bryophytes, ferns and some gymnosperms such as Cycas and Ginkgo.
