What do new fern plants form?

New fern plants grow out of spores into gametophytes. There are male and female gametophytes that produce gametes respectively. Because ferns are pteridophyta, they lack sporopollenin to provide transportation of sperm in the absence of water. In the presence of water, the antheridia of the gametophytes release sperm, which travel through the water and swim into the archegonia of other gametophytes, where the egg and sperm fuse together to form a zygote. This zygote grows into a sporophyte, which is what you typically see and recognize as a fern.
