Angels do not have that as a biological function and apparently resurrected humans will be "as the angels" in their also not engaging in that activity. Angels do it because they are not created any other way - perhaps resurrected humans will simply follow the same rules... or maybe they too will not even have the biological function.
When angels take on bodies of flesh that look like Adam bodies, so as to minister on earth, they eat, drink, sleep, and those who fell, fornicated. They could not reproduce their flesh bodies because there was no "seed" created in those bodies to unite with a female human being egg and get offspring. That is only for the Adam creation, before they reach their "Day", which was to be a thousand earth years, and be changed to the form for glory.
Those angels who fornicated had to "splice genes [Cut roots, as it is translated in Enoch]" to get offspring of flesh, stolen from their Adam flesh wives, in which their own evil fallen spirits were multiplied.
They multiplied their spirits in flesh stolen, and the sons they got by that never will be resurrected in the stolen flesh bodies, but will forever be tormented evil spirits in the Lake of Fire, without bodies. Enoch specifically was told their bodies would never rise.
The Psalmist also notes the same as Enoch said, "They are the dead/rapha, they shall not rise".
That is why those who roam earth as evil spirits on earth crave a body to dwell in so much, to do evil through.
And God is specific that the marrying and multiplying the kind is for the body before the transformation to the glory form, and was made specifically that way because God sought godly seed/sons of God of the human being kind -Malachi 3:15 , "to build the temple not made with hands" for the Glory to indwell, and to "plant the heavens" thereby.

Mat 22:23-33 the Sadducees try and trap Jesus with counter-resurrection logic and Jesus proves them wrong. As Christians we believe there will be a resurrection such as 1 Thes 4:16 tells us the dead will rise first when Christ returns and 1 Cor 15:42 shows us the post-resurrected body will be incorruptible or imperishable. It is clear that as Christians we value the resurrection but this understanding seems to be developed dominantly from NT sources. So where did the Sadducees or others during Christ's time get their understanding of the resurrection to come? Could apocryphal books (like the book of Enoch) played a role in this?

I think some of the most obvious candidates are Daniel 12 and a literal reading of Ezekiel 37.
