Ferns are vascular plants. They contain vascular strands that allow water and nutrients to be transferred throughout the the plant. Mosses lack the vascular strands(or tissue) causing the mosses to have a much smaller stature because they are not able to transfer nutrients very well.

What limits the size of moss plants?

How do plants differ?
Yes there is a difference. Biologically a plant has roots, stems and leaves; a flower is part of the reproductive system of a plant, although not all plants have flowers! Ferns and moss for example reproduce by spores (and not seed) although they are plants. Angiosperms have flowers, whereas mosses, ferns and gymnosperms do not have true "flowers". There is also a common naming issue which complicates matters, in the US some people simply refer to plants as "flowers" - this creates obvious complications.

How about something your fish will be able to eat?
