    Spore Bearing Plants

    Uploaded by

    Cristine Joy Villajuan Andres
    Spore-bearing plants reproduce and disperse using spores rather than seeds. They include non-seed bearing plants like ferns, mosses, and liverworts. These plants have a life cycle with both a sexual gametophyte phase and an asexual sporophyte phase. In the gametophyte phase, moss grows as green vegetation while fern gametophytes are independent from the sporophyte fronds that bear spores.

    Spore-bearing Plant is a plant that reproduces and is
     dispersed mainly by spores, which are formed either
     asexually or sexually. Spores are reproductive cells in 
    plants, fungi, algae, and protozoa. They are typically single-
    celled and have the ability to develop into a new organism.
    Unlike gametes in sexual reproduction, spores do not need
    to fuse in order for reproduction to take place. Organisms
    use spores as a means of asexual reproduction.
    Plants without seeds, such as ferns and mosses, develop
    from spores. Spores are produced within sporangia and
    are released into the environment. The primary phase of
    the plant life cycle for non-vascular plants, such as mosses,
    is the gametophyte generation (sexual phase). The
    gametophyte phase consists of green mossy vegetation,
    while the sporophtye phase (nonsexual phase) consists of
    elongated stalks with spores enclosed within sporangia
    located at the tip of the stalks. In vascular plants that do
    not produce seeds, such as ferns, the sporophtye and
    gametophyte generations are independent. The fern leaf
     or frond represents the mature diploid sporophyte, while
    the sporangia on the underside of the fronds produce
    spores that develop into the haploid gametophyte.
