Let me share with you a difference between antheridia and archegonia.
| Aspect | Antheridia | Archegonia |
| Introduction | A haploid structure that produces and releases male gametes or sperms. | A haploid structure that produces and releases female gametes or eggs. |
| Present in | Male part | Female part |
| Structure | Typically flask-shaped or elongated structure. | Generally flask-shaped structure |
| Location on gametophyte | Often scattered on the surface of the gametophyte | Usually located in a specific region of the gametophyte, often near the apical meristem |
| Protection of gametes | Antheridia usually exposed to the external environment | Archegonia often have protective coverings or jackets that surround the egg, helping to prevent desiccation and provide some protection |
| Number of gametes production | Numerous male gametes produced in each antheridium | Typically, only one egg is produced in each archegonium |
| Motility | Antherozoids (sperm cells) are often motile and require water for movement to reach the archegonia | Eggs are non-motile and are fertilized within the protective environment of the archegonium |
