Why ferns live in moist environments?
Ferns live in moist environments to transport water to cells.
What do ferns have to transport food?
Ferns, which belong to the group of Pteridophytes, have xylem like structures, i.e, the starting of xylem to transport water. Xylem in ferns does not have tracheids unlike in higher plants.
Why must fern live in moist environment?
Ferns live in moist environments to transport water to cells.
Ferns and mosses are similar because both?
Both ferns and mosses are non-flowering vascular plants. They have specialized vascular tissue for the transport of water and nutrients. They reproduce using spores instead of seeds.
How do ferns and mosses get water?
mosses and ferns get water by absorbing the moistness
Why cant ferns grow taller than mosses?
Because mosses rely on diffusion to transport water up the cells and do not have the vessels found in plant cells that allow water to be carried upwards.
Do ferns need water to grow?
Yes, ferns need water to grow.
What is fern?
A flowerless plant which has feathery or leafy fronds and reproduces by spores released from the undersides of the fronds. Ferns have a vascular system for the transport of water and nutrients.
What carries water in ferns?
xylem
Do ferns need a lot of water?
yes they do
Do ferns live in fresh water?
yes
Why do ferns grow to large sizes?
Ferns grow to large sizes due to their vascular system, which allows them to transport water and nutrients efficiently throughout their fronds. Their large size also helps them compete for light in shady forest environments, where they often grow. Additionally, ferns have a long evolutionary history that has allowed them to develop adaptations for growing in diverse habitats and reaching large sizes.
