Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the classification of plants. Plants are broadly categorized into vascular and non-vascular plants. Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients, while non-vascular plants lack these tissues.
Step 2: Recognize the distinction between seedless and seed-bearing vascular plants. Seedless vascular plants reproduce via spores, while seed-bearing vascular plants reproduce using seeds.
Step 3: Analyze the options provided. Pine trees and sunflowers are seed-bearing vascular plants, as they produce seeds for reproduction. Moss is a non-vascular plant, as it lacks xylem and phloem.
Step 4: Identify ferns as seedless vascular plants. Ferns have vascular tissues for transporting water and nutrients but reproduce using spores instead of seeds.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'Fern,' as it fits the criteria of being a seedless vascular plant.
