| Oophore | Oophore \O"["o]*phore\, n. [Gr. ? egg-bearing; w,'o`n an egg + fe`rein to bear.] (Bot.) An alternately produced form of certain cryptogamous plants, as ferns, mosses, and the like, which bears antheridia and archegonia, and so has sexual fructification, as contrasted with the {sporophore}, which is nonsexual, but produces spores in countless number. In ferns the o["o]phore is a minute prothallus; in mosses it is the leafy plant. [1913 Webster] |
