1. The Carpels and stamens are thus sporophylls, or fertile leaves (strictly, sporangium-bearing leaves)

2. The taxon includes tongue-shaped sporophylls with a blunt to mucronate apex and an adaxial sporangium.

3. In mosses, liverworts and hornworts, an unbranched sporophyte produces a single sporangium, which may be quite complex morphologically.

4. The sporangium —the multicellular sexual reproductive structure in which meiosis produces haploid spores—is present in Bryophytes and absent in the majority of algae.

5. The "bryophytes" comprise three phyla of plants united by a similar haploid-dominant life cycle and unbranched sporophytes bearing one sporangium: the liverworts (Marchantiophyta), mosses (Bryophyta), and hornworts (Anthocerophyta)

7. Definition of Anthoceros : a genus of liverworts (family Anthocerotaceae) having slender hornlike or Awllike 2-valved capsules, the thallus more than one cell thick, and the involucre covering only the base of the sporangium

8. A Basidium (pl., basidia) is a microscopic sporangium (or spore-producing structure) found on the hymenophore of fruiting bodies of basidiomycete fungi which are also called tertiary mycellium, developed from secondary mycelium

10. These sporophylls, which are 2,5–4,5 cm long and 1–2 cm wide, consist of a distal triangular short limb and a proximal long winged petiole which bears adaxially a single, large and tongue-shaped sporangium.
