In the case of the tree ferns (Cyathea spp) in New Zealand, the fern leaf canopy may be elevated up to 10m. This has obvious value in gathering sunlight for photosynthesis.
What else can I help you with?
What are ferns like?
Ferns have leaves that are called Fronds, they grow above the ground from an underground stem called a Rhizome
What are parts of mosses and ferns?
strobili, branches, aerial stem, leaves [microphylls], rhizome.
Seedless vascular plant that only possess vascular tissue in the stem?
Whisk ferns are seedless vascular plants that only have vascular tissues in their stem.
Does a fern have a weak stem?
Yes, most ferns have a relatively weak stem that supports their fronds. Ferns typically have underground rhizomes that help anchor and support the plant, rather than relying on a strong above-ground stem like many other plants.
What name is given to the underground stem of ferns and mosses?
roots and stems
Are xylem in ferns?
Yes, ferns have xylem tissue. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, including the fronds (leaves) in ferns. It provides structural support and helps in maintaining the shape and structure of the plant.
How are ferns different fungi?
1. Ferns make their own food and fungi are saprophytes or parasites 2. Ferns are vascular plants and fungi belong to non-vascular category 3. The main plant body in ferns is differentiated into root, stem and leaves; fungi are mostly made up of filamentous mycelium.
What Part of the fern grows from the rhizome?
The frond or leaf grows directly from the root system as ferns do not have a true stem
Why are ferns plants?
Ferns are plants because they contain all the characteristics of a plant. Ferns have a stem leaves and roots which are all plant components. Additionally ferns have embryonic embryos and spores which are a type of seed and are used for reproduction. Ferns also undergo photosynthesis the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Finally ferns are classified as plants because they are multicellular and contain cells with a cell wall. In summary all of the characteristics of a fern make it a plant. These characteristics include: Stem Leaves Roots Embryonic embryos Spores Photosynthesis Multicellular Cells with a cell wallThese properties make ferns a type of plant.
How do the size of moss moss fern plants differ?
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.
