NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -They reproduce through leaves. These leaves are called sporophylls, which bear spores, that germinate in humid and moist soil to produce new ferns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-flowering plants can reproduce by spores or seeds. Plants like mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, known as ‘Bryophytes’, reproduce by spores. Bryophytes are nonvascular plants, which means they also lack roots, stems, and leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ferns generally reproduce by producing spores. Similar to flowering plants, ferns have roots, stems and leaves. However, unlike flowering plants, ferns do not have flowers or seeds; instead, they usually reproduce sexually by tiny spores or sometimes can reproduce vegetatively, as exemplified by the walking fern.

Detailed explanation-4: -Non-flowering plants include mosses, liverworts, hornworts, lycophytes and ferns and reproduce by spores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some plants don’t produce flowers and seeds. 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.
