1.1 Flowering and non-flowering plants
Plants without flowers
Not all plants have flowers. Plants without flowers are called non-flowering plants.
Mosses, ferns and plants with cones are non-flowering plants.
Some non-flowering plants, such as ferns and mosses, do not form seeds. Instead they
make tiny spores that can grow into new plants. Other non-flowering plants, such as
pine trees, do form seeds. But their seeds form in a cone and not from a flower.
