Question

define the terms protonema

Answer 1

protonema is a leafy intermediate stage occuring in a group of bryophytes called mosses.They are formed by the germination of spores released by the sporophytic generation in mosses. Instead of the sporophyte directly giving into gametophyte the protonema gives rise to future gametophyte by giving rise to buds. protonema stage occurs only in mosses remember!!
