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.
A sporophyte will produce spores. Spores develop into gametophytes which have one sex (They are either male or female). Gametophytes produce gametes (egg/sperm, depending on sex of gametophyte) The gametes fuse together by fertilization producing a zygote. The zygote develops into the sporophyte and the process starts again. - ThatTechnoKid
Gametes in the sex organs
Gametophyte stage occurs when cells in reproductive organs undergo meiosis and produce haploid cells. Sporophyte stage is the joining of haploid sex cells. These two stages help in the production of a new plant.
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.

Sporophyte
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
The maple trees that you see are in the sporophyte stage of the plant life cycle. A sporophyte will produce spores which then develop into gametophytes. So, yes, maple trees have spores (if you are talking about the sporophyte stage). The sporophyte stage is part of the life cycle of all land plants.

Second generation produced in mosses is sporophyte on the gametophytic plant body.
the Sporophyte generation
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
