Mosses spend most of their life cycle in the gametophyte phase. In the life cycle of mosses, there are two main stages: the gametophyte, which is haploid (having a single set of chromosomes), and the sporophyte, which is diploid (having two sets of chromosomes). The gametophyte is the dominant and longer-lived stage, consisting of the green, leafy part of the moss that is commonly recognized. The sporophyte is typically a short-lived structure that grows from the gametophyte and produces spores for reproduction.
