1. The dominant plant body in ferns is sporophyte. It is classified into root , stem and leaves.

2. The leaves are large (megaphyllous) variously shaped and look like the branches. They are called as fronds. The stem may be an underground rhizome or a truck as in tree ferns while the roots are adventitious.
