Ferns are called vascular cryptogams because they possess vascular tissue, which allows for the transport of water and nutrients, but they reproduce via spores rather than seeds. The term "cryptogam" refers to plants that reproduce through hidden structures, such as spores, rather than obvious seeds or flowers. This classification highlights their unique reproductive strategy and distinguishes them from seed-bearing plants. Ferns are an important group within the broader category of vascular plants.
A vascular cryptogram is a type of plant with a hidden or concealed vascular system. Unlike most plants where the vascular system is visible, in vascular cryptograms, the vascular tissues are not easily observed due to their subtlety or unique arrangement. This term is more commonly used in botany to describe certain types of ferns, clubmosses, and horsetails.

There are 20,000 species of ferns. Ferns are vascular.
Ferns are seedless vascular plants.
non vascular
No, cryptograms are not flowering plants. Cryptograms are a group of non-vascular plants that reproduce by spores, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They do not produce flowers or seeds like flowering plants.
ferns
A vascular spore-producing plant is a type of plant that reproduces by producing spores and has a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients. Examples of vascular spore-producing plants include ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses.
Yes ferns do have a thallus, and yes they are vascular plants.
