What do fern sporophyte plants have that grow from an underground stem called a rhizome?
Fern sporophyte plants have leaves called fronds that grow from an underground stem called a rhizome. The rhizome also produces roots that anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Additionally, the rhizome can store energy reserves for the plant to use during periods of low growth or unfavorable conditions.
