Zoidogamy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zoidogamy is a type of plant reproduction in which male gametes (antherozoids) swim in a film of water to the female gametes. Zoidogamy is found in algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, and some gymnosperms (others use siphonogamy). Zoidogamy is interesting evolutionary, as it provides a pathway from wind-borne and similar mechanisms to fluid-based mechanisms used in most animals.[1]
