They grow from spores, not seeds or flowers.
seed ferns
Green plants are classified into two main groups: non-vascular plants (like mosses and liverworts) and vascular plants (like ferns and seed plants). Vascular plants are further divided into two groups based on whether they reproduce through seeds (gymnosperms and angiosperms) or spores (like ferns).
Plants that do not make seeds are classified as non-seed plants. They reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Examples include mosses, ferns, and certain types of algae.
The first fossil records of vascular plants that is land plants with vascular tissues Fossil ferns and seed ferns include Pecopteris Cyclopteris
The plants known as seed ferns were ancient, fern-like plants that produced seeds instead of spores for reproduction. They thrived during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, with fossil evidence indicating they were widespread and diverse. Despite their name, seed ferns were not true ferns, but early gymnosperms that eventually gave rise to modern seed plants.
Ferns.
A seedless plant has no seeds. A seed plant have seeds. It is very simple.
The gametophyte generation is more prominent and independent in mosses and ferns compared to seed plants. Also, the sporophyte generation in mosses and ferns is not as prominent or long-lived as in seed plants. Finally, mosses and ferns rely on water for fertilization, a characteristic not seen in seed plants.
Seed Ferns are an extinct group of plants that had fern-like foliage. However, they are not true ferns because unlike true ferns they did not spread spores as a means of reproduction, but seeds. Their numbers were severly reduced in the Permian period, and they were finally wiped out as a group by the end of the Cretaceous.
Plants can be classified into two main groups: vascular plants, which have tissues for transporting water and nutrients, and non-vascular plants, which do not have specialized tissues for transport. Vascular plants can further be divided into seed-producing plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) and seedless plants (ferns and horsetails). Additionally, plants can be classified based on their life cycle as annuals, biennials, or perennials.
Ferns are plants because they contain all the characteristics of a plant. Ferns have a stem leaves and roots which are all plant components. Additionally ferns have embryonic embryos and spores which are a type of seed and are used for reproduction. Ferns also undergo photosynthesis the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Finally ferns are classified as plants because they are multicellular and contain cells with a cell wall. In summary all of the characteristics of a fern make it a plant. These characteristics include: Stem Leaves Roots Embryonic embryos Spores Photosynthesis Multicellular Cells with a cell wallThese properties make ferns a type of plant.
Woodland ferns are leafy non-seed plants.
