In botany, relating to or producing spores of both types (male and female function), particularly in ferns and mosses.
From Greek gynē (woman) + andr- (man) + -sporous (spore-bearing), describing plants that produce multiple spore types.
Ferns are gynandrosporous, meaning their tiny spores can develop into both male and female reproductive structures—nature's way of ensuring reproduction happens even in the tiniest scale of plant life!
