Meiosis in plants, just like in animals, results in the formation of spores.

Here's a breakdown:

* Meiosis: This is a specialized cell division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by half. In plants, meiosis occurs in the sporophyte generation, specifically in specialized cells called sporocytes.

* Spores: These are haploid cells, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent sporocyte. They are the starting point for the gametophyte generation.

* Gametophyte: This is the haploid generation in the plant life cycle. The spores develop into gametophytes, which produce gametes (sperm and egg) through mitosis.

So, while meiosis itself doesn't directly create the gametes (sperm and egg), it produces the spores that eventually give rise to the gametophyte generation, where the gametes are formed.
