No, ferns do not have cones or flowers.
Trees that do not have flowers are in the gymnosperm group. Gymnosperm means naked seed and the seeds are not enclosed in a nut or fruit and they do not produce real flowers. They produce flower-like structures. Conifers or evergreen trees are in this group.
Cycads are gymnosperms with seeds borne in cones, while ferns are vascular plants that reproduce via spores. Cycads have a woody trunk topped with large compound leaves, while ferns have fronds that unfurl from a central stem. Cycads are mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions, while ferns can be found in a variety of habitats worldwide.
Conifers have structures known as cones instead of flowers. Cones are the reproductive structures of conifers that contain seeds. They are typically found on both male and female trees.
A tree that produces cones instead of flowers is commonly known as a coniferous tree. Conifers include trees like pines, spruces, firs, and cedars. They reproduce through cones, which contain seeds that are dispersed through the wind.
Sporangia cones and flowers are both reproductive structures in plants. They both produce and contain spores or seeds for reproduction. However, sporangia cones are found in gymnosperms and produce naked seeds, while flowers are found in angiosperms and produce seeds enclosed in a fruit.
For angiosperms: Flowers For gymnosperms: Cones For ferns: Spore
Because mosses don't have flowers and they don't have cones
Spores, seeds, cones, and flowers are all reproductive structures found in plants. They serve the primary function of facilitating reproduction and the dispersal of genetic material. While spores are primarily associated with non-flowering plants like ferns and fungi, seeds, cones, and flowers are linked to seed-bearing plants, with cones producing seeds in gymnosperms and flowers serving this function in angiosperms. Overall, they all contribute to the life cycle and propagation of plant species.
Ferns do not sprout flowers, instead they propagate via their root system; spreading underground.
Among the groups listed, only Angiosperms and Gymnosperms produce flowers. Angiosperms, commonly known as flowering plants, produce flowers as part of their reproductive process, while Gymnosperms, such as conifers, have reproductive structures called cones but do not produce true flowers. Bryophytes, like mosses, and ferns do not produce flowers; instead, they reproduce through spores.
Many non-flowering plants (such as ferns) reproduce by means of spores; the other major non-flowering plant group are gymnosperms, which produce seed, but in cones not flowers
Sometimes plants are referred to generically as "flowers", botanically this is incorrect as the flower is a specific reproductive organ of plants. A flower that has no flowers, could be interpreted as a plant without flowers, of which there are certain examples: mosses and ferns are plants, but do not have flowers. Gymnosperms such as the pine and conifer also dont have traditional flowers, but bear cones.
