Why do you think the developing leaves of a fern are coiled?
The developing leaves of a fern are coiled, a characteristic known as circinate vernation, to protect the delicate leaf tissue as it grows. This coiling allows the leaf to develop in a compact form, minimizing exposure to environmental factors that could cause damage. Once the leaf has matured, it unfurls, maximizing its surface area for photosynthesis. Additionally, this coiled structure helps in efficiently packing the leaves within the limited space of the plant.
