The evolution of the spore bearing plants is assumed to aid the colonization of the plants on the lands. The appearance of the embryophytes during the mid-Ordovican period led to the spore-bearing plants with developed secondary vascular system during the late Devonian period. The release of spores into the environment and their hard cell wall allowed a greater success for their germination.
The spores can be a part of both asexual and sexual reproduction in plants. The spores are capable of surviving extreme weathers for extended periods of time and still remain viable.
