Rattlesnake fern, or Botrychium virginianum, as shown below, is a species of fern, a seedless plant, that is found all across North America. Which structure is involved in the reproduction of this plant?
Ferns don't have seeds and they reproduce using spores. Cones have seeds in them and seeds fall out. Pollen enters a flower and then the flower becomes a fruit. This is sexual reproduction of plants. Since ferns don't have this, they have to reproduce with spores.
