| heteromorphic | different-looking |
| Streptophyta | instead, traditional land plants together with some green algae apparently form a monophyletic group called |
| desiccation | cell wall helps prevent water loss |
| meiosporangia | in sporophyte produces diploid meiospore mother cells (meiosporocytes |
| meiospores | 5.meiosporocyte undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid |
| gametophyte | meiospores divide by mitosis, forming |
| antheridium | male gametangia, make sperm |
| archegonium | female gametangia, make eggs |
| zygote | sperm and egg fuse inside archegonium to form diploid |
| embryo | zygote grows into sporophyte; young sporophyte |
| saprobic | deriving energy from nonliving organic matter); sporophyte is dominant generation |
| bryophytes | Nonvascular Plants |
| thalli) | Phylum Hepatophyta – liverworts- some with flattened bodies |
| antheridiophores | antheridia on stalks called |
| archegoniophores | archegonia on stalks called |
| gemmae | asexual reproduction occurs in thalloid forms from |
| rhizoids | not true roots; no vascular tissue, little water absorption |
