In Pteridophytes (such as ferns and horsetails), the main plant body is the dominant, diploid stage of the life cycle. What is this stage called?
Sporophyte
Pteridophytes, such as ferns and horsetails, show a life cycle with two distinct generations that alternate with each other.
The gametophyte is the smaller, haploid stage, while the main, visible plant body represents the dominant, diploid stage of the life cycle.
This dominant diploid stage, which bears the sporangia producing spores, is called the sporophyte.
