Fern. Ferns are a group of about 20,000 species of plants (of which about 10,000 are living) in the division Pteridophyta. Unlike bryophytes, ferns have xylem and phloem, which makes them vascular plants. Most ferns belong to the Class Leptosporangiata (or Pteridopsida).

Answer:
Ferns belong to the Tracheophyta division, or the vascular plant phylum. This means that ferns have vascular systems that cycle throughout the plant.
Characteristics
They are covered with a waxy layer, or cuticle that holds in water. They also have stomata, or pores that help them take in and let out gasses like carbon dioxide and oxygen. Their roots take up water and nutrients from the soil and anchor them to the soil.
