Either a Spore or Sori The Rhizome is an underground stem that they grow from. Hope I helped!
in the life cycle of a fern, the dominant and recognizable stage is the diploid sporophyte. the the younger sporophyte grows from the gametophyte.
The typical "fern" plant the, sporophyte, is diploid.

Diploid Sporophyte
A Fiddlehead is a haploid sporophyte that unfolds into a fern frond.
In reference to the sporophyte and gametophyte, are the stages of the plant's life cycle thus being the same.
In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. In fern, for example, the fern itself is the sporophyte. This organism produces spores that fall to the substrate below and grow into a separate organism called a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs in order to produce a new sporophyte which grows out of the gametophyte's body, destroying it. It is important to note that the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is dploid.
The sporophyte of a fern, destined to grow to be magnitudes larger than the prothallium, destroys the prothallium as it grows.
