By a plant? To ensure maximum survival. The more you produce, the more likely it is that some survive. It's evolution at its simplest.

Plants usually produce far more seeds than are needed. This is because many seeds don't survive and grow to maturity

Why do ferns produce so many spores and why don't flowering seeds produce as many seeds?

Because fern spores germinate to produce gametophytes on which male and female reproductive organs are produced for sexual reproduction. Likewise in flowering plants large number of pollen grains are produced to ensure gametic union. Once the fertilization is achieved the sporophytic generation begins and there is surity of survival in diploid phase. Hence gametes are produced in plenty and zygotes and seeds in limited ammount.
