Ferns mainly consist of 5 parts for its structure which are the Stems, Leaves Roots, Prothallus, and Rhizoids. Stems: the fern stems are called Rhizome and it grows horizontally under the surface of the soil. Some such as the above ground creeping stolon grows up till 20 m. Leaves: the fern leaves are called fronds. The new fern leaves are curled but as they grow bigger they slowly uncurl and form a fern plant. Roots: the underground non-photosynthetic structures that take up water and nutrients from soil. They are always fibrous and are structurally very similar to the roots of seed plants. Prothallus: A green, photosynthetic structure that is one cell thick, usually heart or kidney shaped, 3-10 mm long and 2-8 mm broad. Rhizoids: root-like structures (not true roots) that consist of single cells, water and mineral salts are absorbed over the whole structure.
