Ferns lack the flowers or seeds of the angiosperms. Instead they reproduce by forming spores in two phases, the sporophytic and a gametophytic phase. The second, gametophytic, phase is actually a free-living organism, not a seed.

Are ferns angiosperms?

No. Angiosperms are defined as flowering plants. Ferns neither flower, fruit, or have seeds. They reproduce by releasing spores, a primitive but effective way of spreading out.

What two things do angiosperms have that no other plant doesn't?

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, possess two unique features: flowers and fruit. Flowers facilitate sexual reproduction by attracting pollinators and facilitating the transfer of pollen, while fruit protects the developing seeds and aids in their dispersal. These characteristics distinguish angiosperms from other plant groups, such as gymnosperms, ferns, and mosses.

Why is a pine tree considered to be more similar to the hibiscus plant than to a fern?

Gymnosperms, such as pine trees, and angiosperms, such as hibiscus, both sport an important evolutionary feature that ferns do not. Gymnosperms and angiosperms both make seeds through sexual reproduction, while ferns produce spores through a type of asexual reproduction. (the latin word sperma means seed.)


What evolved first gymnosperms mosses angiosperms or ferns?

Mosses evolved first among these groups, appearing around 470 million years ago. They were followed by ferns, which emerged roughly 360 million years ago. Gymnosperms, such as conifers, appeared next around 319 million years ago, and angiosperms, or flowering plants, evolved later, approximately 140 million years ago. Thus, the correct order of evolution is mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and then angiosperms.


What are the 4 groups of plants?
