Are gametophyte better adapted to land environment?

Gametophytes are generally not as well adapted to land environments as sporophytes. While they play a crucial role in the life cycle of plants, particularly in non-vascular plants like mosses, they typically require moist conditions for reproduction and growth, as they rely on water for sperm mobility. In contrast, sporophytes, which are more dominant in vascular plants, have adaptations such as protective structures, roots, and the ability to produce seeds that allow them to thrive in a wider range of terrestrial environments. Thus, sporophytes are typically better suited for land life.
