Reproduction

Plants:

a) Flowering plants make seeds that grow into new plants (illustrated below)

b) Non-flowering plants make new plants from spores

c) Some plants can reproduce asexually: for instance, strawberries produce new plantlets on runners – long shoots or “branches”; the runners die away after the plantlets have successfully rooted themselves into the ground. Potatoes and daffodils develop underground food storage organs that later develop into new plants.
