It is heteresporous. Lycopodium, on the other hand, is homosporous.
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
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.

Flowering Plants are Heterosporous.
Lycopodium is a clubmoss which is homosporous
yes most byrophytes are. so primitive plants that are dominated by the gametophyte stage. this however does not mean that they are isogamous.

Heterosporous is the name given to the plant that produces seeds in the ovaries.
Selaginella lepidophylla, pleopeltis polypodioides
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 bifida was created in 2009.
Selaginella apoda was created in 1753.
Non-vascular plants have rhizoides in place of roots and a seedless vascular plant like selaginella may have rhizophore.
have true roots, stem ,and leaves
