Gametophyte
Gametophyte explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're trying to set up a new social media account, but first, you need to create an avatar to represent you online. This avatar is similar to the gametophyte phase in a plant's life cycle, where the plant "creates" something to represent it in the environment. Just like your avatar is a single representation of you in the digital world, the gametophyte is the haploid phase of a plant that produces the gametes, or reproductive cells, which is essential for the next stage of the plant's life cycle.
