An antheridium is a structure in plants that produces and releases male gametes, such as sperm cells. These male gametes are involved in the process of sexual reproduction by fertilizing female gametes to form a zygote.
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
plants make their gametes by mitosis. This is because in meiosis the daughter cells only contain half the number of gametes. Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction, so the cells will be identical to the plant. This is done by mitosis

No, the anther is a male reproductive structure in plants. It is part of the stamen and produces pollen, which contains the male gametes necessary for fertilization.
Sexual reproduction includes the fusion of gametes during the production of offspring. Asexual reproduction produces new offspring without the fusion of gametes.
The name of the haploid form in plants is gametophyte. It is the stage in the plant life cycle where the organism is haploid and produces gametes through mitosis.
The main function of the mature gametophyte is to produce gametes through mitosis. In plants, the male gametophyte produces sperm cells within the pollen grains, while the female gametophyte produces egg cells within the ovule. The fusion of these gametes during fertilization leads to the formation of a new organism.
Reproductive cells are called gametes. In males, the gametes are called sperm and in females, the gametes are called eggs.
