Non-flowering plants are a group of plants that do not produce flowers or seeds. Instead, they reproduce through spores or other means. Common examples of non-flowering plants include ferns, mosses, and algae. These plants can be found in various environments, from forests to wetlands, and they play essential roles in ecosystems by providing habitat and contributing to soil health. Many non-flowering plants have unique structures that help them thrive without flowers. For instance, mosses have small, leaf-like structures that absorb water and nutrients directly from the air. Ferns have fronds that unfurl from a coiled position, allowing them to capture sunlight efficiently. These adaptations enable non-flowering plants to survive in diverse conditions.
