Ferns
Ferns are plants that have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants, but they do not produce flowers and seeds. Ferns reproduce by means of spores. Before the emergence of flowering plants, ferns dominated the land for millions of years. Nowadays, they are mostly valued for their attractive foliage.

Ferns are more advanced than mosses because mosses lack which structure found in ferns?
Ferns are considered more advanced than mosses because they have vascular tissues like xylem and phloem, which mosses lack. Vascular tissues allow ferns to transport water and nutrients more efficiently throughout the plant, enabling them to grow taller and have more complex structures. This gives ferns an evolutionary advantage over mosses in terms of size and complexity.
The rhizome of a fern grows through the soil?
A horizontal, usually underground stem that often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.
Ferns are a type of vascular plant that reproduce via spores. They have a unique reproduction cycle that involves alternation of generations, with a sporophyte stage producing spores and a gametophyte stage producing gametes. Ferns typically grow in shady, damp environments and play a role in carbon sequestration and soil stabilization.
What stage is dominant in ferns?
The dominant stage in ferns is the sporophyte stage, which is the leafy plant that we typically see. The gametophyte stage is small and short-lived, developing from a spore and producing gametes for sexual reproduction.
