Bryophytes

female structure, produces eggs

male structure, produces sperm

A tough polymer that makes up walls of spores

undifferentiated plant body

rootlike structure that anchors; absorbs water and nutrients

small, asexually produced clones that divide to create gametophyte

male reproductive structure; contains stalk, spermatogenous tissue, jacket

female reproductive structure; contains stalk, venter, egg, neck with neck canal cells

specialized stalks on male plants that bear antheridia (UMBRELLAS in liverworts)

specialized stalks on female plants that bear archegonia (PALM TREES in liverworts)

The elongated stalk of a bryophyte sporophyte

haploid remnant of archegonium which forms cover over moss sporophyte

covering on in sporangium of peat mosses; explodes to release spores

conducting tissue in mosses

Hydroids-like xylem

Leptoids-like phloem

A ring of interlocking, 'teeth' on the upper part of a moss capsule (sporangium); regulate spore release

Heterosporous, unisexual, require water for fertilization, gametophyte generation dominant

Heterosporous, unisexual, require water for fertilization, gametophyte generation dominant; have archegoniophores+antheridiophores
