Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We can say that non-flowering plants reproduce by spore formation. In this process, large numbers of tiny spores are released. Spores are produced in a structure called sporangia. Sporangia is a structure within which spores are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -They reproduce by gamete formation. For eg., mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Spores are produced in a specialized shape known as sporangia. Bryophytes and pteridophytes are in the main homosporous, i.e. they produce comparable spores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-flowering plants mainly reproduce through spores and vegetative propagation. Spores are microscopic spots of living material found on the undersides of the leaves. Some non-flowering plants also reproduce through seeds, for example gymnosperms.
