    This seems obvious: Non flowering plants haven’t evolved ways to attract pollinators prey. What non-flowering plants deliberately attract animals?

      i think because non-flowering plants, like ferns, gymnosperms, bryophytes dont need to attract animals. thier sperm, eggs are usually close by to each other so no need animals. and gymnosperm uses wind pollination. carnivory is probably repurposed flower-attracted pollination.
