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:
  1. Fission
  2. Budding
  3. development of spores
  4. Regeneration
  5. Fragmentation
  6. 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 ud, 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.

By spore formation, Moss and ferns reproduce. Most of the bacteria, non-flowering plants and fungi reproduce by generating spores.
