Science Why is the sporophyte state in mosses dependent on the gametophyte stage? Asked by arwen46 12 years ago 1/25/2013 9:54 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 1/26/2013 8:56 PM
A symbiotic relationship exists between the sporophyte state in mosses and the gamnetophyte stage. The sporophyte stage is not phtosynthetic, but the gametophyte stage is. In other words, the gametophyte is what provides the nutrition.
