sporphyte
The gametophyte stage
Plants produce spores during the gametophyte, or haploid, stages. Spores are the sex cells for the plant. The spores will then germinate and produce new plants.

Nonflowering plants make spores or reproduce by budding.

The maple trees that you see are in the sporophyte stage of the plant life cycle. A sporophyte will produce spores which then develop into gametophytes. So, yes, maple trees have spores (if you are talking about the sporophyte stage). The sporophyte stage is part of the life cycle of all land plants.
Plants have an alternation of generations when they are in the gametophyte stage or the sporophyte stage. Gametes, which is haploid, or spores, which are diploid. Seedless vascular plants can be dominated by a haploid gametophyte stage where they are most of the time.
Yes they do. They make seeds or spores from which new plants grow.
