The body of the sporophyte in the great majority of the vascular plants shows a considerable increase in complexity over that found in the gametophyte of Bryophytes.

In plant cells its presence has been demonstrated in the Thallophytes and Bryophytes.

Forms of scree dominated by bryophytes and lichens have also been taken into account in site selection.
