Life cycle of a moss

The familiar leafy moss found is the sexual stage of the moss life cycle. When mature, near mosses develop sexual practice organs . Some mosses accept dissever male and female plants, whereas others take male and female sex organs on the same plant. In moisture atmospheric condition, sperm cells are released from male sex organs (antheridia) and swim to the female organs (archegonia), attracted by a chemical released past the female person organ. If a sperm cell fertilises the egg jail cell embedded within the female organ, a spore-producing establish develops. This consists of a stalk with a spore capsule attached to the parent moss plant. Every bit the spore capsule matures information technology releases its spores into the air, and then dies. If moss spores fall in a damp place, they germinate and grow into leafy moss plants, and the bicycle is completed.
