	A life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, the sporophyte, and a multicellular haploid form, the gametophyte; characteristic of plants.
	A flowering plant, which forms seeds inside a protective chamber called an ovary.
	In plants, the male gametangium, a moist chamber in which gametes develop.
	Embryonic plant tissue in the tips of roots and in the buds of shoots that supplies cells for the plant to grow in length.
	In plants, the female gametangium, a moist chamber in which gametes develop.
	A moss, liverwort, or hornwort; a nonvascular plant that inhabits the land but lacks many of the terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants.
	A protective cap of gametophyte tissue that wholly or partially covers an immature capsule in many mosses.
	A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to prevent desiccation in terrestrial plants.
	Another name for land plants, recognizing that land plants share the common derived trait of multicellular, dependent embryos.
	The portion of a bryophyte sporophyte that gathers sugars, amino acids, water, and minerals from the parent gametophyte via transfer cells.
	Multicular plant structures in which gametes are formed.
	The mature gamete-producing structure of a gametophyte body of a moss.
	In organisms undergoing alternation of generations, the multicellular haploid form that mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation.
	A vascular plant that bears naked seeds.
	A term referring to a plant species that has 2 kinds of spores: microspores that develop into male gametophytes and megaspores that develop into female gametophytes.
	A term referring to a plant species that has a single kind of spore, which typically develops into a bisexual gametophyte.
	A small, herbaceous nonvascular plant that is a member of the phylum Anthocerophyta.
	The main photosynthetic organ of vascular plants.
	A hard material embedded in the cellulose matrix of vascular plant cell walls that functions as an important adaptation for support in terrestrial species.
