In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
When the gametophyte dies
true,i love these kind of questions :)
the Sporophyte generation
gymnosperm- sporophyte angiosperm- sporophyte
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
SPOROPHYTE
When the gametophyte dies
The sporophyte of a fern, destined to grow to be magnitudes larger than the prothallium, destroys the prothallium as it grows.
In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. In fern, for example, the fern itself is the sporophyte. This organism produces spores that fall to the substrate below and grow into a separate organism called a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs in order to produce a new sporophyte which grows out of the gametophyte's body, destroying it. It is important to note that the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is dploid.

Either a Spore or Sori The Rhizome is an underground stem that they grow from. Hope I helped!
Flaggelated asexual spores produced by a protist or early diverging fungi. A zoospore escapes the zygote of an adult diploid sporophyte in an aquatic enviornment, settles, and then uses mitosis to grow into a haploid adult algae or fungi know as a gametophye which produces sexual gametes that fuse together and grow into a diploid sporophyte through meiosis.
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
Three examples of a sporophyte are Polypodium, mosses, and a pine tree.
