Ferns can grow in hardened lava by utilizing the small crevices and pockets in the volcanic rock where soil and organic matter can accumulate. These areas provide essential nutrients and moisture, allowing fern spores to germinate and establish roots. Over time, the ferns contribute to the soil development by breaking down the lava rock and adding organic material through leaf litter, further enhancing their own growth and that of other plant species. This process helps create a more hospitable environment for diverse plant life to thrive in volcanic areas.
