The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis. A diploid form of a plant
The diploid form in a plant's life cycle is called the sporophyte. Land plants have a complex life cycle that involves an alternation of generations between a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte.
The plant life cycle shifts between haploid and diploid generations. Embryonic development is seen only in the diploid generation. The embryo is made by mixing of gametes, which are made only by the haploid generation. Dissimular from animals, plants, change between multicellular haploid and multicellular diploid periods in their lives. Gametes grow in the multicellular haploid gametophyte time of their life. Fertilization gives growth to any multicellular diploid sporophyte, and produces haploid spores through meiosis. This type of life cycle is called thhe haplodiplontic life cycle. It is different from the (our) diplonticlife cycle, in which only the gametes are in the haploid state.
Plants have what is called an alternation of generations in their life cycle. The two stages are called the sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation. The sporophyte generation is diploid (has pairs of chromosomes). It produces spores by meiosis (reduction division), so the spores are haploid (contain only one chromosome from each pair). The spores divide by mitosis to produce a multicellular, haploid gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (by mitosis) which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. This then develops into the sporophyte, completing the life cycle. The plants which we call mosses and ferns are the gametophyte generations. However conifers and flowering plants are the sporophyte generation of their life cycle. This is much easier to understand if you see a diagram.
in this diplontic life cycle the diploid sporophyte is the dominant photosynthetic independent phase of plant body.the haploid phase is represented by gametes only.this kind of life cycle is termed as diplontic life cycle.

sporophyte and gametophye. since plants have alternation of generation, both are multicellular (haploid and diploid)
It is a type of life cycle found in some algae, fungi, and all plants where an organism alternates between a haploid (n) gametophyte generation and a diploid (2n) sporophyte generation. A diploid plant (sporophyte) produces, by meiosis, a spore that gives rise to a multicellular, haploid pollen grain (gametophyte). It once was called hydrogen power. In more simple terms, it is a life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, and a multicellular haploid form.

A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage that is in a alga or plant life cycle. It produces haploid spores.
meiosis, but im not a 100% sure
