Ferns

=Ferns=

Ferns are non-flowering vascular plants that reproduce by spores. There are about 20,000 species of ferns. Ferns can be found in many habitats, ranging from forests, to mountain tops, to swamps and bogs. Ferns are different than most plants in that they reproduce by spores. They do not produce fruit like flowering plants, nor do they produce cones like conifers. The spores are produced by a diploid sporophyte into haploid gametophytes. The spores are held in tightly spiraled coziers, or fiddleheads. Ferns are made up of the root system, stems, and compound leaves. Spores are produced and held in the coziers. The leaves of a fern a generally referred to fronds, and are the key things that undergo photosynthesis. The roots are mostly fibrous, and the stems somtimes act is rhizomes, and creep to create "new" plants.
