Moss and ferns reproduce by Spore Formation. The majority of bacteria, non-flowering plants like ferns and mosses, and fungus (such as Rhizopus, Mucor, etc.) reproduce by spore generation.

Why Moss and Ferns reproduced by Spore Formation
- Ferns and mosses both produce spores to reproduce.
- Asexual reproduction is creating a new organism from a single parent without the need for sex cells (or gametes).
- Six distinct processes allow for asexual reproduction. Which are:
- Fission
- Budding
- development of spores
- Regeneration
- Fragmentation
- vegetative growth
- The parent plant creates hundreds of the small reproductive units known as “spores” during spore development.
- The plant’s spores spread into the air as the spore container bursts.
- Under ideal circumstances (such as damp and warm weather), these airborne spores that settle on food (or soil) germinate and create new plants.
Regeneration: Regeneration is regenerating an entire organism from its component parts.
Fission: A unicellular creature splits (or divides) during the fission process to create two (or more) new organisms. Binary fission is the method used by Leishmania for reproduction.
Budding: In budding, a little portion of the parent organism’s body expands as a “bud,” which later separates and develops into a new creature. In yeast and hydra, buds are seen.
Fragmentation: Fragmentation is when a basic multicellular organism’s body splits into two (or more) parts upon reaching adulthood. Each of these fragments then develops to form an entirely new organism.
