Question

the fern is more terrestrially adapted than the moss. explain this statement ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason for this is that both moss and fern species are relatively primitive plants that are only imperfectly adapted to a terrestrial environment. Ferns have both roots and vascular tissue and therefore, can grow larger than moss species, but like the mosses, ferns require water for reproduction.

Answer 2

Because both moss and fern species are relatively adolescent plants with poor adaptations to a terrestrial environment, this is the case. Ferns, like moss species, need water for reproduction because they have both roots and vascular tissue, which allows them to grow larger than most moss species.

In the forest understory, moss and fern species are widespread, but they are rarely found in open, dry habitats (e.g., roadside at the start of the trail). Because both moss and fern species are relatively adolescent plants with poor adaptations to a terrestrial environment, this is the case. Many of the traits that modern plants exhibit are adaptations to a terrestrial environment; plants' ancestors lived in the ocean. For instance, moss species don't have vascular tissue to transport water within the plant or roots to draw moisture from the soil. Ferns need water for reproduction because they have both roots and vascular tissue, which allows them to grow larger than most moss species.
