All flowering plants (angiosperms) share a common feature with nonflowering plants (gymnosperms and ferns) in that they all reproduce through a process involving the production of spores or seeds. However, flowering plants are unique in that they produce flowers, which are reproductive structures that contain the plant's sexual organs and play a crucial role in pollination and fertilization. This distinguishes them from nonflowering plants, which reproduce through the use of spores or cones.
