Definition of sporophyte in English English dictionary

The plant (or the diploid phase in its life cycle) which produces spores by meiosis in order to produce gametophytes

b) sporophyte with foot reduced, the entire sporophyte enveloped by the calyptra, which is ± stipitate at the base.

The diploid stage in the life cycle of a plant, in species that show alternation of generations, that produces asexual spores

In many plants and algae, the nonsexual phase in the alternation of generations, or an individual representing the phase. The alternate, sexual phase is the gametophyte. In the sporophyte phase, a diploid (see ploidy) plant body grows and eventually produces spores through meiosis. These spores divide by mitosis to produce haploid gametophytes, which then can carry out sexual reproduction

a spore-bearing plant

In plants with alternation of generations, it is a plant in the diploid phase that produces spores

It is not clearly differentiated in the life cycle of the lower plants

In plants exhibiting alternation of generations, the generation which bears asexual spores; opposed to gametophyte

The diploid stage in the life-cycle of a fern When you look at a fern, you see the sporophyte It produces spores which germinate to form the gametophyte

The result of the mitotic division of the haploid spore It can also form from the union of haploid gametes and later give rise meiotically to haploid spores

{i} asexual stage in the life cycle of a plant (Botany)

the spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations

diplophyte
