    • Gametophyte stage, the plants bears leaves, synthesis
    chlorophyll, and is able to reproduce sexually. The
    Sporophyte generation consists mainly of a capsule that
    encloses the spores
    • Antheridia and Archegonia :
    Antheridia are the male organs and Archegonia are the
    female organs of a gametes-producing Gametophyte.
    Each of them produces thousands of montiles sperms
    (antherozoids). During fertilization, a single sperm fuses
    with egg to produce a diploid zygote that will developing
    a Sporophyte.
