Answer 2

Answer:

Monoecious organisms are those organisms that bear both the "male reproductive organs and female reproductive organs" in one single individual organism. In case of plants, monoecious plants are the plants that possess both "male and female reproductive organs" in one single plant.

In fern, the prothallus bears both the "male and female reproductive organs", namely - antheridia (male) and archegonia (female) in it. This is why the prothallus of fern is monoecious.
