Sporangium
A sporangium (pl., sporangia) is a plant or fungal structure producing and containing spores. Sporangia occur on angiospermsgymnospermsfernsfern alliesbryophytesalgae, and fungi. Their spores are sometimes called sporangiospores.Microsporangia are the structures on the stamens of flowers called anthers, and the pollen-producing structures on the microsporophylls of male conifer cones. Megasporangia are the comparable "female" structures on these plants, associated with the flower carpel and the megasporangial cone.
