STEP 1: Examine the mass of moss plants and then select one or two individual gametophyte plants and note the leaf-like (not true leaves because they lack conducting tissue) structures which are arranged around a central, vertical "stem-like" stalk and root-like rhizoids which anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. STEP: The sex organs are in the tips of the plants and must be seen with the microscope. Study a slide of a vertical section through head of a mate plant and note the many antheridia. STEP 3: Examine a slide through a vertical section of a female plant. Note the many upright archegonia each on a tall stalk and each with a swollen base or venter containing an egg and an elongate neck. Note the filamentous paraphyses between the archegonia.
