Question

Why are ferns advanced over mosses ?

Answer 1

Ferns are complex seedless plants that have megaphylls that contain more than one vein. 

Mosses are bryophytes that found in moist places. Mosses does not have any vascular system which makes them incapable of carrying in water, fluids or nutrients.  

Megaphylls in ferns gives them ability to survive and strive in variety of region such as desert, top of mountains etc due to ability of ferns rhizome to carry water over a large area. 

These capability makes ferns more evolved over mosses. 

Answer 2

Answer: Ferns are more advanced than mosses as their cells are organised into tissues and organs, namely roots, stems and leaves. They also have vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) which allows them to grow vertically, as water and nutrients can be transported efficiently throughout the plant.
