Neetu is completed her science chapter where she wrote some statements. She wants to know whether the statements are correct or not? Neetu wants to take help from you:

Most of the fungi bacteria and non-flowering plants such as ferns and mosses reproduce by the method of spore formation. Spores are a kind of roots of plants and under favorable condition spores grow to a new plant.
