Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The short-lived gametophyte with archegonia and antheridia and the sporangium with an annulus are characteristics of ferns, which have a dominant sporophyte stage in their life cycle. Rhizomes are also a common characteristic of ferns. Mosses have a dominant gametophyte stage, and pine, dicot, and monocot plants do not have gametophyte structures such as archegonia and antheridia.
