Homospory refers to the production of a single type of spore, which is a trait shared by some primitive plants such as ferns. This trait is not unique to seed plants and, in fact, seed plants are characterized by the presence of pollen, reduced gametophytes, and seeds. Pollen and seeds are especially important adaptations for life on land, as they allow for more efficient reproduction without the need for free-standing water. Reduced gametophytes also help to protect the growing embryo and allow seed plants to better adapt to drier conditions.
