The pores in a plant open as spores are sucked inside so that they might be wrapped in a thin layer of cytoplasm. After the packaging is finished it is now called a Phagotray. The Phagotray is then sent out to the near surface of the plant and it is "stitched" there. (meaning it has a very suction cup like texture; such as that of a tree frog) It eats out a tiny hole (new pore) in which to let in more oxygen, and begins its journey of growing a new attachment (new ferns) once there are enough sodium ions and oxygen atoms in the plant and the Phagotray.

What would you do if you want to grow new ferns?

If you want to grow new ferns you must get the seed and plant it everyday. Ferns reproduce's by spores.


Which plant produces spores that grows into a new plant?

Ferns and fungi are two plants that produce spores.


What falls from ferns to make a new fern?

Ferns reproduce by releasing spores, unlike most vascular plants, which usually use seeds.


What does fungi disperse to new places where conditions are favorable for growth?

Fungi disperse spores to new places where conditions are favorable for growth. This dispersal is accomplished by either animals or wind.


What is the function of spores in ferns?

These are it's seeds that produce new small plantlets.


What role do spores play in the reproduction in fungi?

They are created and allowed to disperse to a new area so they can grow if the conditions are right.

How does the fern reproduce?

Ferns reproduce by spores produced in sori. On germination of spores prothlii are formed. These prothlii on maturity develop sex organs and give rise to new fern plants after fertilization.


What is the function of fungal spores?

Spores are the reproductive cells for fungi and ferns. They are small and light weight so that they can easily be carried by the wind.In, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. A chief difference between spores and seeds as is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds.


Can flowering plants reproduce by spores?

Yes the spores are like seeds. They drop off of a fern and onto the ground and sooner or later they sprout and makes a new fern. Spores are not like seeds. They lack a seed coat, endosperm and preformed embryonic parts. In addition spores give rise to the gametophyte generation and seeds give rise to the sporophyte generation. Ferns and mosses do both reproduce by using spores BUT mosses have a reduced almost parasitic sporophyte generation which produces the spores. These spores will produces the gametophyte generation (the green leafy thing we see). The gametophyte produces the sex cells that fuse to make a zygote. This zygote then forms a new sporophyte. With ferns the sporophyte generation is more dominant than the gametophyte. The leafy structure we see is the sporophyte.


What plants do not reproduce by seeds?

The saffron crocus is infertile, but gets by in dividing the bulb. No doubt there are many more.Various plants such as red rose, jasmine, grass etc. do not reproduce by seeds.There are also spore-bearing plants like ferns. Those spores are not the same as seeds.


A tiny cell that can grow into a new fern?

The tiny reproductive cells of ferns are known as spores. These sling to the underside of the fern's leaves until they are ripe, at which time they are released. Some fall to the ground near the fern while others blow on the wind and start new ferns in other locations.
