Mosses have a life cycle with two very different stages. One generation looks plantlike.

The plantlike generation carries out sexual reproduction. it makes egg and sperm cells that join to produce a new moss plant. Then the other generation begins. This generation looks like a stalk that grows out of the leaf like part of the moss. This generation carries out asexual reproduction, in which a new plant is produced without the joining of a sperm and an egg cell. The stalk produces spores. A spore is a structure that contains cells that can grow into a new plant without joining with other cells.

How does the life cycle of a flowering plant differ from the life cycle of moss?

Moss Plant Life Cycle: The capsule of a moss plant releases spores, into which grow to be a green moss plant. Then fertilization between the plant sperm and the egg begins. Soon, an immature stalk and capsule grow from the fully fertilized egg. When the plant is fully mature, spores again start to grow in the capsule. After this a new moss plant is fully grown and matured.
