In seed plants, the sporophyte is the part most of us would consider a tree or herb.
The gametophyte is tiny – it is the pollen grains and a portion inside an ovule.
Easy way to think about it is the sporophyte is diploid (assuming no polyploidy) and the gametophyte is haploid. Most tissues etc are diploid.
