Plant with spores (4)
I believe the answer is:
fern
'plant with spores' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for fern that I've seen before include "Non-flowering plant" , "Plant such as bracken" , "A frond is its leaf" , "Tracheophyte plant" , "Bracken, for example" .)
