 dispersed mainly by spores, which are formed either
 asexually or sexually. Spores are reproductive cells in 
plants, fungi, algae, and protozoa. They are typically single-
celled and have the ability to develop into a new organism.
Unlike gametes in sexual reproduction, spores do not need
to fuse in order for reproduction to take place. Organisms
use spores as a means of asexual reproduction.
 Plants without seeds, such as ferns and mosses, develop
from spores. Spores are produced within sporangia and
are released into the environment. The primary phase of
the plant life cycle for non-vascular plants, such as mosses,
is the gametophyte generation (sexual phase). The
gametophyte phase consists of green mossy vegetation,
while the sporophtye phase (nonsexual phase) consists of
elongated stalks with spores enclosed within sporangia
located at the tip of the stalks. In vascular plants that do
not produce seeds, such as ferns, the sporophtye and
gametophyte generations are independent. The fern leaf
 or frond represents the mature diploid sporophyte, while
the sporangia on the underside of the fronds produce
spores that develop into the haploid gametophyte.
