In which plant taxon does the sporophyte remain dependent on the gametophyte for a short period during its growth?

I am having a difficult time understanding which plant taxons have reduced gametophyte dependence. My professor made the image below but I don't understand how a moss's gametophyte would be more independent (since the sporophyte stays attached to the gametophyte) than the seed plant.

You will find the answer on Plant Classification.
