Diplobiontic

Detailed explanation-1: -Funaria shows a Haplo-diplontic life cycle . In this type of life cycle, Haploid gametophyte generation alters with Diploid Sporophytic generation. As both haploid and Diploid generation alternates, it is referred to as the Haplo-diplontic life cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The life cycle of Funaria is haplo-diplontic type. In the life cycle free living haploid gametophyte alternates with a semiparastitic diploid sporogonium (Sporophyte). In this type alternation of generations is called as heteromorphic or heterologous.
Detailed explanation-3: -The haplo-diplontic life cycle is seen in all bryophytes and pteridophytes, along with certain algae. It is also observed in certain algae like Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia and kelps.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia, and kelps are haplodiplontic. Bryophytes are having life cycles with alternation of generations.
Detailed explanation-5: -The haploid phase in the life cycle of Funaria is represented by independent leafy gametophyte.
