because the plantlets devlop from the point where the tip of the arching leaf of the parent plant touches the ground, giving a walking effect
Adiantum cappillus-veneris
Adiantum is the genus for the Maidenhair fern plants
Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum): Known for its delicate, lacy foliage. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata): Popular for its graceful arching fronds. Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus): Recognizable by its wavy, crinkled leaves. Staghorn Fern (Platycerium): Unique for its antler-like fronds. Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium niponicum): Noted for its silvery-gray and burgundy foliage.
The walking fern gets its name because it appears to "walk" along the forest floor as new plantlets form at the tips of its fronds and root where they touch the ground. This process allows the fern to spread and colonize new areas, giving it the appearance of walking.
The leaf of a fern is called a frond. A young frond is referred to as a fiddlehead. When young fronds come up from the ground, they're tightly coiled.
An adiantum is a maidenhair fern and other related ferns, belonging to the genus Adiantum.
