Question

In general where is the
sporophyte positioned in
relation to the gametophyte in
bryophytes? How does the
sporophyte obtain nutrients?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Bryophytes are nonvascular terrestrial plants of moist habitat. They are mostly found in damp and shady places and form green carpets or mats on damp soil, rocks, walls, etc. The plants are small and seldom attain great length or height. The dominant phase of the life cycle of bryophytes is gametophyte. A gametophyte does not bear any roots. Instead, it bears rhizoids that could either be unicellular or multicellular.
