Mother ferns, Asplenium viviparum, and A. bulbiferum, are two species of fern where small clones grow directly from the fronds of the parent. When the clones are large enough, they fall off the parent, and take root in the substrate below. Many plants have evolved the ability to produce clones of themselves in order to spread faster in an area than their competitors,as reproducing through clones is much faster than sexual reproduction through spores or seed.
The structure that fern roots grow from are rhizomes.
fern rhizomes grow branches that can be separated from the plant and grow on its own
Spores from adult fern plants get carried in the in the wind and grow on trees.
Some species of ferns can reach as tall as 20 meters high. Most ferns will grow roughly 10 meters high depending on their species and what the area is around them.

Making a prediction
There areabout 20000 different species of plants classified as ferns.
The Maidenhair fern reproduces using germ cells called spores. The spores grow into small roots and then grow to be MaidenHair ferns.
Yes. The black tree fern of New Zealand, for example, can grow to 20m high.
Fern fossils come from ferns. Ferns are plants, not animals. Hence, fern fossils are plants, not animals.
