Science Why is the sporophyte state in mosses dependent on the gametophyte stage? Asked by arwen46 on 25 Jan 09:54 Last updated by anonymous on 26 Jan 20:56
A symbiotic relationship exists between the sporophyte state in mosses and the gamnetophyte stage. The sporophyte stage is not phtosynthetic, but the gametophyte stage is. In other words, the gametophyte is what provides the nutrition.
