Aha! THIS question is what got me intrested in botany in the 1st place. Okay, what I THINK you're refering to is the orangey "bumps" on the underside of a fern's leaf. Unlike most plants, ferns do NOT reproduce with seed. Instead, they use SPORES, like fungi. (But they're not fungi) ANSWER: The "bumps" on a fern are spores, the reproductive cell that they use in place of seeds. See related link:
New Mycelium is what forms when spores spread and land in a somewhat suitable place.
Any species that does not reproduce will go extinct.By definition, a living thing reproduces. A single individual not reproducing simply means they don't contribute to the next generation's gene pool.
Ferns have sexual mode of reproduction. Also ferns can only reproduce where there is sufficient moisture to transfer their motile male gametes to the archegonia for fertilization. Mainly ferns are reproduced by spores and at a time in the year they grow small spots under their leaves, known as sori. Each sorus has several sporangia where spores (micro & megaspores) are produced. Sexual reproduction in ferns takes place by spores in sporophytic phase and by reproductive organs i. e. anthredia and archegonia in gametophytic phase. Thus, the reproduction in ferns is achieved by alternation of generation.
The difference is that living things, at least humans and animals, have conscious awareness, of themselves and/or of things/people around them. Non-living things do not. Plants do not of course have this consciousness, but they exhibit another quality of life that is different from non-living things, which is that they grow. It is not clear that animals other than humans have a conscious awareness of themselves. There is evidence of non human self awareness; however, it is far from a scientific 'fact' established that non-human animals have self awareness. Next, just exactly what consciousness is, in the first place, is far from established and accepted. Some classics: Ability to reproduce a comperable, such as a new born, which grows and then reproduces itsself. To consume and alter substances by incorporating them into the structure of the organizm. Ability to move, to relocate, without the direct influence of something else. Example, a rock which moves from the effect of the wind not the same as a child who moves from place to place when it crawls. Alteration of the environment by making tools or more of themselves, see Ability to reproduce....
They both use spores!
it is called a SPORANGIOPHORE. It is a more or less vertically-growing hypha that holds the chamber where spores are produced in place. The container where the spores are actually produces the spores by meiosis is the SPORANGIUM. The other hyphae on the rhizopus are: Rhizoids and Stolons.
The advantage of the large numbers of spores produced by fungi is that more of the fungi will have a chance to be reproduced. The spores from most fungi need moisture and darkness to reproduce. Spores can also be transplanted through the air and be deposited in places that are not suitable for reproduction, such as a place that is too dry. This will greatly reduce the fungi's chance for survival.

There is no particular place for birds because birds moves from one place to another in the search of food and shelter.
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.
no No, but they can grow and send out their spores.
Viruses are technically not living because they cannot reproduce without a host cell, they cannot move on their own, and they have no organeles.
