Ferns

What are Ferns?

Ferns are a group of plants that belong to the division Pteridophyta. They are primitive vascular plants that reproduce through spores rather than seeds. Ferns have a long evolutionary history, dating back hundreds of millions of years, and they were dominant plants during the Carboniferous period. Today, they still play an important role in many ecosystems and can be found in various habitats around the world.
