The microsporangium is a small, sac-like structure that produces microspores in seed plants.
Microsporangia are found in the anthers of flowering plants and in the cone scales of gymnosperms.
Each microsporangium contains a number of sporogenous cells, which undergo meiosis to produce haploid microspores.
The microspores are then released from the microsporangium and dispersed by the wind.
