NON-FLOWERING PLANTS

This is a fern a Non-flowering  plant

  Non-flowering plants are those plants that make seeds within cones or produce spores instead of Non-flowering plants pines. Spruce or cedar trees that produce cones ferns. Mosses and lichens that produce spores. These spores are arranged at the bottom of a fern frond or leaf. They contain many tiny spores. Most Non-flowering seeds plants are Evergreen. Evergreen are trees that lose a few leaves at a time and grow new leaves replace them. As a result the trees always look green.

         How seeds scatter

This is a pinecone that falls on the ground and becomes a new tree.

 

  Seeds are scattered in many ways. Some seeds have wings like structures that can be carried by the wind. Other seeds have hooks that stick to the fur of an animal. The seeds travel with the animal. When an animal eats fruit the seeds pass through its body, and then get left behind. Under the right conditions it can grow into a new plant.

                                  

HOW SPORES GROW

This is a full-grown spore.

      Spores grow inside through spore cases. The cases protect the spores from open the spores are released. They drift through the air and then settle. Spores that land on the damp ground can grow into moss or fern plants.
