The zygote secrets thick wall around it called oospore, which grows into a saprophyte. The mature saprophyte consists of foot\seta\capsule
Foot – it is barrel, conical shaped, embedded in apex of a branch.
Seta – it is very long, twisted, and slender.
Capsule- pear shaped in structure and it consists of
Apophysis – it is multicellular thick basal portion of the capsule
Columella- it is central portion of the capsule surrounded by spore sac.
Spore sac- it is a sac containing spores on either side of columella. On the outer side of the spore sac air spaces are present separated by partition wall.
Operculum – apical region of capsule. It is conical lid of the capsule. It consists of small teeth called peristome.
Dehiscence of capsule
At maturity annulus breaks and the operculum is thrown away. The spores are liberated out..
