➻All bryophytes are homosporous.They undergo reduction division to produce haploid spore.However diploid Sporophyte is responsible for production of haploid spores.

➻Bryophytes show hetermorphic alternation of generations(bcoz,gametophytic and sporophytic bodies are different) and the life cycle is haplo-diplontic

➻In bryophytes, the sporophyte stage usually grows from the female gametophyte and is often dependent on it for its nutrition as it is typically not photosynthetic.Hence the Sporophyte is considered as semi-parasitic or parasitic.
