The diploid sporophyte is the dominant, independent, photosynthetic, and vascular phase of the plant, alternating with a multicellular, saprophytic/autotrophic, independent but short-lived haploid gametophyte. This pattern, known as haplo-diplontic, is exhibited by all pteridophytes.
El esporofito diploide es la fase dominante, independiente, fotosintética y vascular de la planta. Se alterna con un gametofito haploide multicelular, saprofítico/autotrófico, independiente pero de corta vida. Todos los pteridofitos muestran este patrón haplo-diplóntico.

It alternates with multicellular, saprophytic/autotrophic, independent but short-lived haploid gametophyte. Such a pattern is known as haplo-diplontic life cycle. All pteridophytes exhibit this pattern |
