Both moss and sperm use many of the same structures in their reproduction such as sporangium, antheridium, and archegonium. Water is necessary for fertilization to occur in both of them. Both undergo mitosis and meiosis. Both also go from diploid to haploid in their cycles. But, in moss reproduction, the leafy gametophyte is photosynthetic while the smaller sporophyte is not and in fern reproduction, both the gametophyte and sporophyte are photosynthetic and can live independently. Ferns are primarily homosporous while mosses can be either homosporous or heterosporous. For both, the sperm is motile. Also, the approximate number of generation for moss is 12-13 while for ferns it is 365.
