The evolutionary trend in plant reproduction has been towards greater prominence of the sporophyte stage. In the life cycle of plants, there are typically two phases: the gametophyte phase, which is haploid and produces gametes, and the sporophyte phase, which is diploid and produces spores. Over evolutionary time, the sporophyte phase has become more dominant in most plants, especially in the transition from non-vascular to vascular plants, and within vascular plants, from seedless to seed plants.
