Sporophyte Plant Gametophyte Undergo Meiosis Bryophytes Amphibians Kingdom

Bryophytes (liverworts and mosses) have a dominant gametophyte (haploid) stage. Reproduction involves antheridia and archegonia; the zygote develops into a sporophyte without meiosis. The sporophyte is attached to and derives nutrients from the gametophyte. Some sporophyte cells undergo meiosis to produce spores that germinate into gametophytes. Sphagnummoss provides peat and retains water.
