As I carefully brush the backs of my fingers against moss beds, tiny stalk-like beings tickle me. Jutting out of moss leaves, these stalks are known as sporophytes; each sporophyte contains a capsule of spores at its outermost end.

当我小心翼翼地用手指背面扫过苔藓时，细小的状结构会挠得我发痒。从苔藓叶中探出来，被称孢子体，每个孢子体的末有个孢子囊。

Stems provide the structural framework of the plant, whether dainty daisy stems or thick tree trunks — yes, tree trunks are stems!

提供了植物的结构框架，无论是娇嫩的雏菊还是粗壮的树干——是的，树干就是！

It also apparently had eyes that flopped around on the sides of its body attached to these fleshy stalks.

它显然还有双可以左右摇晃的眼睛，眼睛长在肉质的状结构上。
