It is heteresporous. Lycopodium, on the other hand, is homosporous.
heterosporous means that male and female organs are different. One structure produces eggs and other produces sperm. If a plant has seeds, which contains the embryo, then that clearly means sexual fertilization and a male/female gametophyte had to be involved. In short, yes. All seed plants are hetrosporous by that logic.
Yes, Nephrolepis is homosporous, meaning it produces only one type of spore that develops into a bisexual gametophyte. This characteristic is common in ferns and some other lower plant species.
Lycopodium has only one size of spores said to homosporous while Selaginella has both a microspore that grows into the male gametophyte and macrospores that produces female gametophytes. Selaginella has ligules at the base of each microphyl

Lycopodium is a clubmoss which is homosporous
Heterosporous genera are plant genera that produce two types of spores: microspores (male) and megaspores (female). Examples include Selaginella, Isoetes, and Marsilea in the plant kingdom. This heterospory allows for the development of separate male and female gametophytes, enhancing reproductive success and evolutionary adaptability.

Yes, most mosses are homosporous, meaning they produce spores of the same size and type that can develop into either male or female gametophytes. These gametophytes then produce gametes that fertilize to form sporophytes.

Heterosporous is the name given to the plant that produces seeds in the ovaries.
To ensure proper care for your selaginella plant, place it in a location with indirect sunlight, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide high humidity by misting the plant regularly. Additionally, avoid exposing the plant to drafts or extreme temperatures.
Heterosporous plants are those that produce two types of spores that differ in size and sex. In particular, they produce two morphologically distinct types of sporangia (megasporangia and microsporangia) that create two distinct types of spores (megaspores and microspores). The spores then develop into separate male and female gametophytes. They are different from homosporous plants in which the sporophyte produce a single type of sporangium and then a single type of mother spore cell.
Selaginella lepidophylla, pleopeltis polypodioides
Selaginella apoda was created in 1753.
