What are Nonflowering plants?

Non-flowering plants include mosses, liverworts, hornworts, lycophytes and ferns and reproduce by spores. Some non-flowering plants, called gymnosperms or conifers, still produce seeds.

How do pollinators help plants?

Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower's anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part). The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.

How do non-flowering plants make their own food?

The leaves are responsible for making food for the whole plant to eat. The leaves use sunlight, water (from the stem) and carbon dioxide (from the air) to make sugar for the plant to eat. If the plant is a non-flowering plant, it will continue to grow and make more leaves over time.

What is the importance of flowering plants?

The main function of flowers is to attract pollinators to plants to ensure the reproduction and survival of the plant species.
