Explanation:

Mosses disperse their spores from a capsule that often is elevated above the shoot by a seta (capsule and seta together make up the sporophyte) anchored to the top of the moss shoot in cushion growing species or along the shoot in mat‐growing species.

Answer 2

The contents of a moss capsule are dispersed through the wind.

• Mosses belong to the phylum bryophytes which are sporophytes in nature.
• Each sporophyte plant is composed of a capsule where the process of spore formation takes place.
• Diploid spores are released from the capsule upon successful germination they grow into another moss plant.
• The spores from the capsule are widely dispersed and can easily be dispersed with the help of wind over a long distance.
• Another method of dispersal is water and also one group of mosses even attracts insects to carry away the spores.
• As the mature capsule drys, it gets shrunk compressing the sir inside when the internal pressure is high it shoots the spore into the air where the breeze picks them up.
