KINGDOM PLANTAE
Division Filicinophyta
Filicinophytes are commonly called ferns.
Ferns live in moist areas which require water
at least during fertilization. Filicinophytes
reproduce by means and spores.
Filicinophytes have large green leaves.
They develop compound leaves called
fronds which form branches off the main
stem. Sporangia can grow on the
underside of the front leaflets.
They cluster into group called sori.
The source is covered with a special
tissue called indusia. Indusia dries
up thereby freeing the spores.
