A horizontal, usually underground stem that often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.

A Rhizome.
The rhizome is the stem of the fern plant. This can creep along or under the ground ,it may grow into a short or tall trunk (a vertical rhizome), or it may be a solid mass that gives rise to a tuft of fronds (an erect rhizome). Often, the rhizome grows underground. This produces roots and new fronds (leaves).
The underground stem of a fern is called a rhizome. It grows horizontally underground and produces roots below the soil and fronds above ground. Rhizomes allow ferns to spread and colonize new areas.
A horizontal, usually underground stem that often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.
Fern sporophyte plants have leaves called fronds that grow from an underground stem called a rhizome. The rhizome also produces roots that anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Additionally, the rhizome can store energy reserves for the plant to use during periods of low growth or unfavorable conditions.
The frond or leaf grows directly from the root system as ferns do not have a true stem
Either a Spore or Sori The Rhizome is an underground stem that they grow from. Hope I helped!
Ferns reproduce through spores. They form on the under sides of the leaves or fronds. There are no flowers. When the spores are fully formed they fall from the fern are dispersed by wind, animals, or grow where they fall.
