Detailed explanation-1: -Sporangia are found in fruiting structures, called as sporocarps in aquatic ferns.

Detailed explanation-2: -A sporocarp is a specialised type of structure in the aquatic ferns of the order Salviniales whose primary function is the production and release of spores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sporocarps (interpreted as modified pinnate leaves or pinnae) are reniform with a stalk arising from the petiole base or leaf axil, each sporocarp bearing two halves, each of these with several rows of internal sori.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sporocarps (fruit bodies) are the sexual reproductive stage in the life cycle of many fungi.

Detailed explanation-5: -These spores are formed in structures called sporangia. The leaves which bear these sporangia are called sporophylls. sori is a cluster of sporangia.
