* Seeds are produced by flowering plants (angiosperms) and contain a tiny embryo, a food source, and a protective coat. They are dispersed by wind, water, animals, or even by the plant itself.
* Spores are produced by non-flowering plants, such as ferns, mosses, and liverworts. They are single cells that can develop into a new plant without fertilization. Spores are often dispersed by wind or water.
