Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which kinds of plants reproduce with spores, not seeds?
A
trees that bear fruit, such as peach trees and apple trees
B
all flowering plants
C
mosses and ferns
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants such as ferns and mosses are called nonflowering plants and produce spores instead of seeds. There is also another group called the Fungi, that include mushrooms, and these also reproduce by spores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants that reproduce by spores Ferns, mosses, liverworts and green algae are all plants that have spores. Spore plants have a different life cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reproduction by Spores Plants we see as ferns or horsetails are the sporophyte generation. The sporophyte generally releases spores in the summer. Spores must land on a suitable surface, such as a moist protected area to germinate and grow into gametophytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -They’re ancient plants Mosses are non-flowering plants which produce spores and have stems and leaves, but don’t have true roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ferns, lycophytes, mosses, liverworts, and hornworts (the latter three are collectively termed bryophytes) reproduce via spores.
