heterosporous
Heterosporous refers to the condition where a plant or organism produces two distinct types of spores - male and female. The male spore is known as a microspore and is responsible for producing male gametes, while the larger female spore, called a megaspore, develops into female gametes. This type of reproduction is found in many kinds of plants, including many ferns and seed plants.
