Gametophytes are typically low-growing plants primarily because they rely on diffusion for water and nutrient uptake, which is more efficient at shorter distances. Their small size helps them maintain moisture and reduces the risk of desiccation, especially in environments where water is limited. Additionally, being low to the ground allows gametophytes to access more stable microhabitats and enhances their ability to reproduce through close proximity to other gametophytes.
