Like if they have no seed they will not have sprouts. So knowing trees have a lifespan, how does the species does not goes extinct ?

So, seed is one of many many different ways for plants to grow.
Very commonly? these are just grown via cuttings – that is, to take a cutting off of another plant and then it can grow from there. If you are familiar with the fairy tale “Aschenputtel” (Cinderella) wherein the title character asks her father for a branch which she then puts on her mother’s grave? Yeah – it’s kind of like that. So in other terms? Cloning. The resulting plant is genetically identical to the one you took it from.
Another common method of propagation is grafting. The most common form is when you take the top of a plant (the scion) to the lower portion (the understock) and join them together. A lot of fruit trees do just this.
Ordinarily? it’s both.
So tldr? Cloning.
