How do plants interact with their environment?

Non-seed plants
Some plants, such as ferns and mosses, don’t have seeds. They produce
special cells called
spores.
The spores grow inside spore capsules. When
spores fall to the ground, they grow and develop into new plants.
Ferns
have special leaves called
fronds
. Spore
capsules grow on the fronds. Ferns are anchored
to the ground by their
roots
. The
roots
also
absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Mosses
produce
capsules
. Mosses don’t have
roots. They are anchored to the ground by
rhizoids
. Mosses absorb water and nutrients
through the rhizoids, stem and leaves.
