Ferns have evolved vascular tissue that enables them to grow larger
than the bryophytes. However they are still restricted to moist habitats
because they require water for fertilization. Sperm must have water
so they can swim to an egg to fertilize it.
At maturity, fern leaves (fronds) develop spore producing structures
on their undersurface called sori. Sorus is the singular form.
What will potentially develop from the spores released from each
sorus?
