All vascular plants have sporophytic plant body
There new plants are called gametophtes
Sporophytes
Sporophytes are typically taller than gametophytes because they are the dominant phase in the life cycle of plants, investing more energy in growth and reproduction. Sporophytes produce spores through meiosis, giving rise to new gametophytes, which are usually smaller and shorter-lived in comparison.
Sporangium
Bryophyta is a group of plants having thalloid independent gametophytic plants and their sporophytes remain dependent on gametophytes. Examples are Riccia, Marchantia, Anthceros and mosses.
Both bear seeds; both are vascular plants; Gametophytes in both groups are dependent on sporophytes
Gametophytes are generally not as well adapted to land environments as sporophytes. While they play a crucial role in the life cycle of plants, particularly in non-vascular plants like mosses, they typically require moist conditions for reproduction and growth, as they rely on water for sperm mobility. In contrast, sporophytes, which are more dominant in vascular plants, have adaptations such as protective structures, roots, and the ability to produce seeds that allow them to thrive in a wider range of terrestrial environments. Thus, sporophytes are typically better suited for land life.
Plant spores are produced directly by sporophytes through the process of sporogenesis. Spores are reproductive structures that can develop into new individuals without the need for fertilization. They are dispersed by various means, such as wind or water, to enable the propagation of plants.
Sporophytes are gametes.
