Term

Definition
always diploid; produces haploid spores by the process of meiosis in structures called sporangia
Term
Non-Vascular Plants
Definition
A non-monophylectic group, all of the taxa lack leaves, stems, and roots that characterize vascular plants, without vascular tissue to conduct water and food efficiently their growth is somewhat limited and they are typically small in size. Typically restricted to moist habitatsbecause their rhizoids neither penetrate soil very deep nor absorb many nutrients
Term
rhizoids
Definition

Term
Haplo-Diplontic Life Cycle
Definition
Spores germinate and develop into gametophytes, which are always haploid. The haploid gametophyte produces gametes ( sperm or eggs) which later fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the mature sporophyte, thus completing the life cycle.
Term
Non-Vascular Life Cycle
Definition
distinct alternation of generations where gametophyte is the dominant stage, it is larger and longer lasting that the sporophyte statge; gametophytes are either male or female
