Gametophyte generation of fern is called prothallus.
Prothallus
The antheridia and archegonia of a fern are located on the prothallus, which is heart-shaped. The prothallus is anchored to the soil by rhizoids.
yes says Krystof jehlicka
When spores are released from the underside of the fern frond, they fall to the ground where they germinate, growing into
flat.heart-shaped membranous structure with numerous rhizoids on its central lower surfaces.
I answered that with fern spore, but I'm not too sure. I also had that as my question, also. I hope it's correct. :D
It is advantageous for the antheridia and archegonia to be located on the ventral aspect of the fern. This keeps the genetalia closest to the rhizomes.
produces reproductive organs which produce a zygote
Ferns reproduce using sori and prothallus.
One sporophyte developes from one prothallus
