  • Sporophyte Generation in Plants: Definition & Function
    The generation of a plant that produces eggs and sperm is called the sporophyte generation.

    Here's why:

    * Sporophyte refers to the diploid generation in the plant life cycle, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes.

    * Eggs and sperm are gametes, which are haploid (one set of chromosomes).

    * The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis, which are also haploid.

    * These spores develop into the gametophyte generation, which is responsible for producing eggs and sperm.

    So, the sporophyte generation is the parent generation that produces the gametes (eggs and sperm) that lead to the next generation.
