Best Answer

It is a type of life cycle found in some algae, fungi, and all plants where an organism alternates between a haploid (n) gametophyte generation and a diploid (2n) sporophyte generation.

A diploid plant (sporophyte) produces, by meiosis, a spore that gives rise to a multicellular, haploid pollen grain (gametophyte). It once was called hydrogen power.

In more simple terms, it is a life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, and a multicellular haploid form.
