👉 A fern is a type of plant that has many branches growing out of its roots. These branches are known as fronds, and they provide food for the plants by allowing them to grow taller. The leaves on a fern are arranged in a spiral pattern around the frond, which helps to support the plant's weight. Ferns have been used for centuries as a source of medicinal compounds, such as curcumin and hibiscus, and also as ornamental plants.
