The 33 pages that link to Sporophyte, each with the reason it gives.

• SporangiumRelated: Plant sporangia develop on the sporophyte generation.

• SporeRelated: This multicellular stage produces spores by meiosis in plant life cycles.

• GametophyteRelated: The zygote grows into the generation that produces spores by meiosis.

• Alternation of generationsBroader topic: It begins the diploid half of the cycle by making spores.

• Seed plantRelated: The visible seed plant is predominantly the sporophyte generation.

• HaploidCompared with: Its diploid stage contrasts with the haploid gametophyte in plant alternation of generations.

• BryophyteBroader topic: In bryophytes, it remains attached to and nutritionally dependent on the gametophyte.

• LycophyteRelated: The conspicuous plant body of a lycophyte is its sporophyte.

• StrobilusRelated: Strobili are reproductive structures of the sporophyte.

• Pollen coneNarrower topic: A pollen cone is part of the conifer sporophyte.

• MossBroader topic: A moss sporophyte grows from the fertilized egg and bears a spore capsule.

• HeterosporyNarrower topic: The sporophyte produces both microspores and megaspores.

• CooksoniaRelated: Cooksonia fossils represent the spore-producing generation of the plant.

• Plant life cycleBroader topic: It develops from the zygote and produces spores by meiosis.

• AntheridiumCompared with: It contrasts with the gametophyte generation on which antheridia form.

• SphagnumRelated: Sphagnum's small sporophyte capsule produces spores above the gametophyte.

• EmbryophyteRelated: The embryo grows into the sporophyte, whose form dominates many land-plant lineages.

• MicrosporeCompared with: The sporophyte produces microspores, while the microspore belongs to the haploid generation.

• IsoetesRelated: The familiar quillwort plant is the sporophyte that bears sporangia.

• SelaginellaRelated: The conspicuous Selaginella plant is the sporophyte that bears spore-producing structures.

• LycopodiumRelated: The familiar leafy Lycopodium plant is its dominant sporophyte generation.

• LycopodiopsidaRelated: The conspicuous plants in this class are sporophytes that produce spores.

• SalvinialesRelated: The conspicuous aquatic plants of Salviniales are sporophytes.

• ZosterophyllNarrower topic: The preserved zosterophyll plant body was its sporophyte generation.

• EquisetumRelated: The conspicuous horsetail plant is the sporophyte, which produces spores in strobili.

• LycopodiaceaeRelated: The conspicuous Lycopodiaceae plant is the sporophyte, which produces spores in sporangia.

• PolysporangiophyteRelated: Its branching body bears the multiple sporangia that define this group.

• PteridophyteRelated: The conspicuous pteridophyte plant is usually the sporophyte.

• BryologyRelated: Its structure and dependence on the gametophyte help distinguish bryophyte groups.

• BryopsidaRelated: Its form and capsule structures are central to recognizing true mosses.

• DryopteridaceaeRelated: The familiar leafy fern is the spore-producing sporophyte of Dryopteridaceae.

• OphioglossidaeRelated: The familiar leafy Ophioglossidae plant is its sporophyte stage.

• Wilhelm HofmeisterRelated: He identified the sporophyte as a distinct generation, not merely a reproductive structure.
