Botany - Plant Kingdom Question with Solution | TestHub

A heterosporous life history occurs in some pteridophytes and in all seed plants.

Some genera of division Pteridophyta like Selaginella and Salvinia produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores, which are known as heterosporous.
