Some Plants have not flowers.Why?
Although many plants use flowers to reproduce,some do not.There are more than 30,000 types of these non-flowering plants.Mosses,for example,release tiny spores that are spread by the wind.Conifers make seeds inside scaly cones.Both spores and seeds grow into new plants.
