Non-vascular plants reproduce from spores. Non-vascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Some non-vascular plants have male plants and female plants. Others are able to have both sex organs on the same plant.

How do spores structurally different from seeds?
1. Spores are single celled and seeds are multicelled 2. A spore germinates to form a gametophyte, whereas a seed germinates to form a sporophyte 3. Spores can hardly survive for longer period during adverse conitions, but seeds can do 4. Spores are produced in the sporangium; seeds are produced inside the fruit
Do seeds and spores have both multicellular and embryos?
While they have the same function- to reproduce- the main difference between seeds and spores is that seeds come from flowering plants (they are the ripened ovules of the plants) and spores are produced by non-flowering plants (they are tiny reproductive bodies). Seeds, since they are ripened ovules, have plant embryos with a food store and a protective covering around all of that. On the other hand, spores do not have stored food resources and can be made of one or many cells. So, seeds are multicellular while spores are usually unicellular, and seeds contain embryonic plants while spores do not (they themselves are the tiny reproductive bodies).
What is the difference between seeds and spores?
The main difference between seeds and spores is that spores are not planted in the ground whereas seeds are planted in the ground. Spores fall off of the plants and they are a means of reproducing a plant just like the seeds. Although spores and seeds have similar functions, they have crucial differences. One main difference between seeds and spores is in the size. Spores are much smaller than the seeds. Seeds can easily be seen but spores can only be seen with the help of a microscope. Seeds are fertilized ovules enclosed in a protective coat called testa whereas spores fall off to create a plant somewhere else. Another major difference is that seeds are produced by flowering plants whereas spores are produced by non-flowering plants and fungi. Seeds are enclosed in the fruit of the tree or plant whereas spores are from the underside of the plant. Seeds contain nutrients that are stored in the embryo whereas spores do not store and contain any nutrients. Plants that produce the seeds are known as higher level organisms whereas lower level organisms such as fungus, ferns, mosses ,bacteria and etc. are known to produce spores. Another major difference between the seeds and spores is that seeds are comprised of many cells whereas spores have only a single cell and therefore they are called one celled organisms. Seeds do not need wet lands or excessive water to sprout but spores need swampy or marshy surfaces saturated with water to grow. Spores and seeds are both asexual reproductive structures but spores unlike seeds are produced by plants that have no seeds. Spores have an ability to develop into a new organism whereas it is the embryo in the seed that gives rise to a new plant. Some seeds are haploid or have a single set of chromosomes and some of them are diploid or have two sets of paired chromosomes. Spores are primitive in form and just like seeds are necessary for the ecosystem. Spores help their species to survive the same way as the seeds do but they are not that efficient. Spores can germinate whereas seeds give a head start to the next generations. Summary: 1. Seeds are an efficient way of reproduction whereas spores fall off of a plant to produce next generation organisms. 2. Seeds have an embryo enclosed in a protective coat. 3. Spores are singular organisms whereas seeds have multiple layers. 4. Unlike the spores, the seeds can survive in difficult and less friendly conditions. 5. Spores are too small to be seen by the naked eye.
Do seeds come from spores or cones?
Seeds do cme from these shitiful cones and sproes
Where does the seed come from when the seed gets dispersed?
Seeds come from plants that produce fruits after fertilization. They can be in pods, fruits and even like the dandelion that has light seeds.
Two plants that come from a spore are?
Mushrooms and ferns both produce spores.
What is the difference between a seed and a spore?
They are both asexual means of reproduction. The key difference is that seeds are planted in the ground, whereas spores fall off of plants that reproduce by spores and create a plant else where. Seeds and spores will not create "genetic clones" like binary fission and budding do. Only one parent supplies the genetic information for the off spring. SO child is identical to the parent.
Where do living things can from?
Plants come from seeds, and people and animals come from their mothers.
Where did seeds come from after the earth cooled down?
plants with seeds evolved from simpler plants which evolved from single celled organisms
Do roses reproduce by seeds or spores?
A rose can be artificially reproduced by cuttings, which are really a type of cloning. The actual term used for this process is called Grafting. We bend a branch of the plant and bury a portion of the stem in the soil and keep a stone to ensure that the branch doesn't come out of the sun. After a few weeks, roots start developing out of the branch at the place where it was buried in the ground and a new rose plant is ready.
Are grains vegetables?
No. Grains are seeds. They come from plants, some plants being vegetable.
What is the difference between seed plants and plants without seeds?
Plants which do not have seeds have been engineered to lose the seeds because they are preferred by consumers. Plants without seeds could be due to the fact that the flowers have not been developed. As the fruit matures, seeds will develop. When you plant a potato because there are sprouts coming out of the eyes or nodes, you are able to plant them because the potato is a underground stem. Plants without seeds reproduce asexually using spores, like mosses and ferns; plants with seeds use sexual reproduction with pollination.
