Elaters are specialized cells in bryophytes that twist and turn in response to changes in moisture. This twisting motion helps in seed dispersal by aiding in the release of spores from the sporangium when it is dry and then coiling back to protect the spores when it is wet. This mechanism increases the chances of spore dispersal in suitable conditions for germination.
Both the elaters and the spores inside the spore capsule are haploid.
Yes, elaters of Marchantia are haploid, serving to disperse spores in liverworts. They are specialized cells involved in spore dispersal, expanding and contracting to aid in spore release.
Horsetail spores are dispersed through wind. As the mature plant releases spores from specialized structures called sporangia, they are carried by the wind to new locations where they can germinate and grow.
1. The gametophytic plant body may be thallose or foliose in Mosses The gametophytic plant body in liverworts can be prostrate, branched filamentous, thalloid protenema or leafy erect gametophyte in Liverworts 2. On the ventral surface of the thallus unicellular rhizoids and simple multicellular scales are present in Mosses. Rhizoids are multicellular branched with oblique septa in Liverworts. 3. Sex organs are present on the dorsal surface of the thallus and develop from superficial cells in Mosses. Sex organs develop from the superficial cells from the tip of the leafy gametophyte in Liverworts. 4. Elaters are generally present in Mosses but absent in Riccia. Elaters are absent in Liverworts. 5. Stomata and chlorophyll are absent in the wall of the capsule of the Sporophyte in Mosses Stomata and chlorophyll are present for gaseous exchange in the sporophyte in Liverworts. 6. Dehiscence of the capsule is irregular in Mosses. Dehiscence of the capsule is regular in liverworts.

Elaters in the capsule of Marchantia sp. are responsible for aiding in seed dispersal. They help in the dispersal of spores by expanding and contracting in response to changes in humidity, effectively releasing spores into the environment.
Horsetail spores are dispersed through wind. As the mature plant releases spores from specialized structures called sporangia, they are carried by the wind to new locations where they can germinate and grow.
In botany, a calyptra is a protective covering or cap that encloses the developing capsule of mosses. It is derived from the archegonium, which is the female reproductive organ of mosses. The calyptra is shed as the capsule matures and the spores are released.
