Ferns

Ferns are a fascinating group of plants that reproduce using spores instead of seeds. They are known for their delicate, often feathery fronds.

Here are some key characteristics of ferns:

  • No flowers or seeds: Ferns reproduce through spores, which are tiny reproductive cells.
  • Vascular plants: They have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) to transport water and nutrients.
  • Fronds: The leafy structures of ferns are called fronds.
  • Rhizomes: Most ferns have underground stems called rhizomes.
  • Diverse habitats: Ferns can be found in a variety of environments, from tropical rainforests to temperate forests and even deserts.
