Seedless Vascular Plants

Seedless vascular plants, which reproduce and spread through spores, are plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not flower or seed.

Xylem and phloem form the vascular system of plants to transport water and other substances throughout the plant.

Roots support plants by anchoring them to soil, absorbing water and minerals, and storing products of photosynthesis.

Ferns, club mosses, horsetails, and whisk ferns are seedless vascular plants that reproduce with spores and are found in moist environments.

Seedless vascular plants provide many benefits to life in ecosystems, including food and shelter and, to humans, fuel and medicine.
