Solution
Some moss plants have both male and female plants as different , but others have both male and
female parts in the same plant. At matured stage during wet conditions male plant releases sperm

2. cells from antheridium, which fertilises the egg cell enclosed in female organs ( archegonia ) , a
spore producing plant develops with capsule and lid. When spre capsule matured , it releases
spores . Spores will germinate during wet conditions developed into moss plant . Then again the
cycle repeats.
Diagram explanation
In the diagram on the left side labelled plant is spore producing plant with capsule .
Capsule releasing spores
Spores developed. Into separate female and male plants.( upper plant male plant , lower plant
female plant)
Sperm cells entry into the female organs ( archegonia)
Fertilisation of egg
Development of spore producing plant.
