The seed-bearing plants are the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. Incorporating seeds into their reproductive cycle gave these plants an advantage over other groups of plants that came before. Which of these is an advantage that seeds have over spores? Seeds require less energy for the plant to produce than do spores. Seeds can be spread on the wind or by animals, while spores have to swim through water. Seeds contain a store of nutrients to nourish the plant embryo until it is able to grow.
