Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between spores and seeds: Spores are single-celled reproductive units that do not contain an embryo or stored food, while seeds are multicellular structures that contain an embryo and stored nutrients for growth.
Identify the types of plants that reproduce using spores: Plants like ferns, mosses, and fungi reproduce primarily through spores, which are adapted for dispersal in moist environments.
Recognize that seed-producing plants include gymnosperms (e.g., pine trees) and angiosperms (e.g., corn and roses). These plants use seeds for reproduction rather than spores.
Analyze the options provided: Corn, pine trees, and roses are all seed-producing plants, while ferns reproduce using spores.
Conclude that ferns are the correct answer because they reproduce primarily by producing spores rather than seeds.
