Plato: True
The most recognizable stage of a moss is the gametophyte stage, which is the green, leafy structure commonly seen in moist environments. It is the dominant and photosynthetically active stage of the moss life cycle.

Moss must grow close together and must have water to complete their life cycle. Gametophyte stage is dominant in the moss's life cycle where the eggs and sperm are produced. Mosses produce two kinds of gametes.
The dominant generation in mosses is the gametophyte generation. This is the photosynthetic, leafy structure that produces gametes for sexual reproduction. The sporophyte generation in mosses is much smaller and dependent on the gametophyte for nutrients.
No, in gymnosperms, the sporophyte stage is the dominant stage of the life cycle. The gametophyte stage is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and support.
The plural form of the noun moss is mosses.The plural possessive form is mosses'.
The spelling "mosses" is the plural form of moss, although clumps of moss can be referred to in the collective as moss (as with grass).
Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
