Non-vascular plants reproduce through ____
A
seeds
B
cones
C
flowers
D
spores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How do nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants reproduce? Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants both reproduce by sexual means in which there is the production of male and female gametes, and asexual means in which there is a production of spores by the sporophytes .

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonvascular plants are calle d bryophytes. Nonvascular plants include liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. They lack roots, stems, and leaves. Nonvascular plants are low-growing, reproduce with spores, and need a moist habitat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The non-vascular plants include mosses, hornworts and liverworts, and some algae. They are generally small plants limited in size by poor transport methods for water, gases and other compounds. They reproduce via spores rather than seeds and do not produce flowers, fruit or wood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seedless vascular plants reproduce through unicellular, haploid spores instead of seeds; the lightweight spores allow for easy dispersion in the wind. Seedless vascular plants require water for sperm motility during reproduction and, thus, are often found in moist environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -The moss sporophyte is composed of a long stalk or stem-like structure called a seta with a capsule at the tip. The capsule contains plant spores that are released into their surrounding environment when mature. Spores are typically dispersed by wind.
