Tree Fern
The huge erect trunk is usually up to 12 m tall, although they have reached 20 m from Queensland, Australia.
Structural adaptations:
- The stems grow axis of the fern and bears the roots for attachment to the substrate of nutrients and water, and produces leaves in a regular manner.
- They are “vascular plants” with well-developed internal vein structures that promote the flow of water and nutrients which is vital for survival.
Physiological Adaptations:
- Ability to undertake both sexual and asexual reproduction
- Modifying the optimum temperature at which the all-important process of photosynthesis takes place.
Behavioural adaptations:
- No behavioural adaptations found
Below is a diagram showing the places the adaptations occur on the plant.
