Yes, gymnosperms exhibit a sporophyte-dominant life cycle. The sporophyte is the diploid, multicellular stage that is the most conspicuous and long-lived phase, encompassing the entire plant body, including roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive structures like cones. The gametophyte generation is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition.
