Ferns

I found my ferns in an environment with moist soil and lots of sunlight. They are found in moist environments because for ideal conditions for reproduction where it needs the sperm to meet up with the egg. Ferns need water to uptake and give out to the whole plant through the xylem vessels in order for the plant to be healthy. It also needs water to transport spores. Mosses and ferns are different because ferns have a vascular system which involves xylem and phloem while moss have no xylem and phloem but have a sporphytic stage
