Eusporangiate- sporangia are multicellular and produce many spores. Sporophyll is a leaf that bears the sporangia. Homosporous sporophytes produce spores that germinate into bisexual gametophytes. Heterosporous sporophytes produce spores which germinate into m or f gametophytes. Male gameto- phytes have an an- theridia and female gametophytes have an archegonia.
