Most ferns are around 12" to 30" tall. They do give a dense cover, but are not considered ground cover because of their height.
yes. Rhizomes are basically stems that run along the ground. They help roots support the height of the plant. They (ferns) require moist environments because the rhizomes can't reach far for water.
The cold area where only small plants grow is called the Tundra region. Tundra vegetation is characterized by small plants that grow close together and close to the ground. These plants are only a cm tall.
Ferns do not produce seeds enclosed in little cases like flowering plants. Instead, ferns reproduce through spores that are found on the underside of their fronds in structures called sporangia. These spores are released into the environment and germinate to grow into new fern plants.
Ferns have leaves that are called Fronds, they grow above the ground from an underground stem called a Rhizome
Plants like ferns, mosses, and liverworts can reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Some plants, such as bananas and pineapples, reproduce through vegetative propagation, where new plants grow from shoots or other vegetative parts of the parent plant.
They grow on plants! On small plants though.
There are the small plants such as shrubs, moss, ferns, and lichens which grow quietly beneath the shadows of the tall trees.

Ferns can grow from 1/10" to "tree ferns" which are around 90ft tall.
Horizontal stems that grow on the surface of the ground are called runners or stolons. Ex: ginnger, grass,strawbery,ferns
