Answer: sporophytes photosynthesise, particularly when immature, but depend on gametophytes for at least 50% of nutrient requirements

Explanation: In mosses, the gametophyte generation is the dominant generation unlike in higher plants. The diploid sporophyte generation produces several spores per capsule.
