The horizontal stems of ferns are called rhizomes. Rhizomes grow underground and serve as a means of vegetative reproduction, allowing ferns to spread and form new plants. They store nutrients and help the plant survive adverse conditions, making them a crucial part of a fern's life cycle.
What else can I help you with?
Which group of plants have underground stems called rhizomes and leaves called fronds?
Ferns belonging to the plant group Tracheophyta.
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
What are the long slender 'stems' that grow along the surface of the ground -called?
Those long slender stems are called runners or stolons. They are horizontal above-ground stems that produce new plants at nodes along their length. They help plants propagate vegetatively and spread across the ground.
What is the underground stem of a club moss called?
The underground stem of a club moss is called a rhizome. Rhizomes are horizontal, underground stems that produce roots and shoots to reproduce and spread.
What name is given to the underground stem of ferns and mosses?
roots and stems
What are the creeping horizontal and subterranean stems of ferns referred to as?
rhizomes

whisk ferns
How are hornworts and ferns different?
Hornworts and ferns are both non-flowering plants, but they belong to different groups within the plant kingdom. Hornworts are bryophytes, meaning they are simpler, lack true roots, stems, and leaves, and typically thrive in moist environments. In contrast, ferns are vascular plants that have true roots, stems, and leaves, and reproduce via spores produced in specialized structures called sporangia. Additionally, ferns have a more complex life cycle, featuring both a gametophyte and sporophyte generation, while hornworts have a simpler life cycle with a dominant sporophyte phase.
