How do plants reproduce?
Most plants make seeds. Some plants put stickers on their seeds to make them stick to animals and humans. That’s one way they travel. Some other seeds are light, and have an aero-dynamic shape. This helps them to move through the wind. Alot of plants grow with seeds in them so that when a bird, or other animal eats the fruit, the seeds don’t digest, and they come out sometime later. They can also be replanted into other plants to get fertilized by bees.
The female part of the plant produces a egg. Then the male part of the plant pollinates the egg and there for reproduces. For instance, most plants are capable of vegetative reproduction—reproduction without seeds or spores—but can also reproduce sexually.
Organisms that reproduce through asexual reproduction tend to grow in number exponentially. However, because they rely on mutation for variations in their DNA, all members of the species have similar vulnerabilities. Organisms that reproduce sexually yield a smaller number of offspring, but the large amount of variation in their genes makes them less susceptible to disease.
Many organisms can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. Plants can be both.
