Ferns
A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Ferns do not have either seeds or flowers (they reproduce via spores). There are four particular types of habitats that ferns are found in: moist, shady forests; crevices in rock faces, especially when sheltered from the full sun; acid wetlands including bogs and swamps; and tropical trees, where many species grow on another species.
