Fertile fronds are specialized leaves of certain ferns that are responsible for producing spores. Unlike sterile fronds, which are primarily involved in photosynthesis, fertile fronds often have a different appearance and may be more finely divided or have clusters of sporangia (spore-producing structures) on their undersides. These fronds play a crucial role in the fern's reproductive cycle, allowing for the dispersal and propagation of the species.
