Explanation:

A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga. It develops from the zygote produced when a haploid egg cell is fertilized by a haploid sperm and each sporophyte cell therefore has a double set of chromosomes, one set from each parent. The basic function of the sporophyte is to create spores - that much is known already. The spores produce the gametophytes that give rise to the male and female gametes through the process of meiosis Sporophyte the asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophyte arise. It is the dominant form in vascular plants. A sporophyte is a multicellular diploid generation found in plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations. It produces haploid spores that develop into a gametophyte. The gametophyte then makes gametes that fuse and grow into a sporophyte
