Wikipedia
Sporangium
A sporangium (pl. sporangia; from Late Latin, from Ancient Greek σπορά (sporá) 'seed', and ἀγγεῖον (angeîon) 'vessel') is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other lineages form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in nearly all land plants and many fungi, sporangia are the site of meiosis and produce genetically distinct haploid spores.

sporangium
A sporangium is a structure, found in certain plants, algae, and fungi, where spores are produced through asexual reproduction. The spores are usually surrounded by a protective wall, which helps to protect them against harsh environmental conditions. The sporangia are the sites where meiosis occurs, leading to the formation of haploid spores from diploid cells.
