Final answer:

The plant structure in lower plants that produces gametes is called gametangia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant structure in lower plants that produces gametes is called gametangia. In nonvascular plants such as mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, the gametophyte plant produces archegonia, which produce eggs, and antheridia, which produce sperm. These structures are typically found in the midst of modified 'leaves' at the ends of stems or branches.

Alternation of generations occurs in plants, where the sporophyte phase is succeeded by the gametophyte phase. The sporophyte phase produces spores by meiosis within a sporangium. The gametophyte phase produces gametes by mitosis within an antheridium (producing sperm) and/or archegonium (producing eggs).
