Question

Sporophylls can be found in which of the following?
A) mosses
B) liverworts
C) hornworts
D) pterophytes
E) charophytes

Accepted Answer

Sporophylls are specialized leaves that bear spores and are found in pterophytes, which include ferns and their relatives. Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts do not have true leaves and do not produce sporophylls. Charophytes are a type of green algae and do not have the structures characteristic of land plants, including sporophylls.
