Ferns have roots, stems and leaves but no seeds. They reproduce by spores. There are about 12,000 species of fern.
Growing Up
Ferns grow best in moist, humid habitats with low light. They are very common in rainforests. Ferns have delicate leaves called fronds. They start out curled in a tight ball that opens as the frond grows. Ferns have horizontal stems called rhizomes. Their roots grow out of the rhizome.
