Ferns are significant in reference to evolution because they are the most dominant type of vegetation, and expose the health of their habitat.Ê They act as a visual test to the viability of vegetation in a particular area.

The evolutionary significance of Cnidarians is that they were the first animals to move. As for Porifera, they were the first animals on Earth.
Ferns contain one of the oldest toxins in evolutionary history , whilst most animals have developed an immunity to this it is not recommended for humans to ingest ferns as the spores can be lethal.

None. Evolution is a myth and can not be proven.
Ferns are seedless vascular plants while mosses are just seedless.
It supports the idea that all organisms are evolutionarilly related.

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.
Chemotaxis help guide the male sperm of the fern to the female organs of the plant. Malic acid is the key chemotaxi in ferns.
There are 20,000 species of ferns. Ferns are vascular.
