Solution
Homosporous:
These are the plants that produce spores of one kind.
The spores produced can be either microspore or megaspores.
The spores generated from the homosporous plants develop into a bisexual gametophyte which produces both male and female gametes.
Examples of Homosporous are
Lycopodium
and
Equisetum
which produces only one kind of spores.
Most of the pteridophytes and bryophytes are Homospores plants.
