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.
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.
The curled up fronds of a fern are called their leaves. Its really a long stem with many little leaves coming out of it.
No, not all ferns grow korus. Korus are the coiled structures found at the tip of fern fronds that eventually unroll to form the leaves. Some fern species do not produce korus and instead have a different structure to produce their leaves.

The tightly coiled fern leaves are called fiddleheads because they look like the scroll at the end of the neck of a violin (aka fiddle). They are an expensive delicacy and are available for a very short time in the Spring. Some varieties of fern may contain toxins, so it is recommended that they be cooked thoroughly before eating.

The uncurled leaves of a fern are called fronds. A fern is a autotroph. Ferns need to release their spores into moist environments in order for reproduction to occur.
