Non-flowering plants

What are non-flowering plants?

Plants that do not produce flowers are called non-flowering plants. Since they do not have flowers, they reproduce in other ways. Some non-flowering plants, like mosses and ferns, reproduce using spores. These spores are tiny cells that can grow into new plants. Some other non-flowering plants, like conifers, produce seeds without producing flowers. Look at the pictures below.

^{Mosses, like the ones growing on these rocks reproduce by releasing spores.}

^{Ferns reproduce though spores found in little clusters on the bottom of the leaves.}

^{Conifers, like the one above, do not produce flowers. They produce cones with seeds inside.}
