- Antheridiophore — A specialized structural formation, having the appearance of a stalk, branch, or erect support, which bears the antheridia (male reproductive organs) in some lower avascular plants, such as liverworts of the order Marchantiales. This structural support serves the ecological role of elevating the male organs above the thallus, facilitating the efficient dispersal of plant spermatozoa via raindrops or dew.
