for humans it is sperm and for plants not sure

Answer

All animals and plants produce sperm cells and egg cells/ova. Some textbooks refer to the male sex cell as simply the male sex cell/gamete. It seems it should rather always be called a sperm cell as that is what it is. Angiosperms produce microspores/pollen grains which grow male gametophytes within themselves, which produce sperm cells.
