Ferns: The Emergence of Roots and Stems

The video tutorial explains the evolution and characteristics of ferns, a type of vascular plant. Ferns are more advanced than lycophytes, having true roots and stems. They exhibit diverse forms, from small herbaceous plants to large tree ferns. Ferns reproduce through spores, with a dominant sporophyte generation. The lifecycle includes gametophytes, which are small and short-lived. Ferns can also reproduce vegetatively via rhizomes. The tutorial concludes by transitioning to more complex vascular plants.
