Is a fern a nonvascular plant?

Ferns are vascular.



Nonvascular plants have no roots, stems, or leaves, since each of these structures is defined by containing vascular tissue. Examples include mosses, algae, and liverworts. The lobes (rounded parts) of the liverwort may look like leaves, but they are not true leaves because they have no xylem or phloem. Likewise, mosses and algae have no such tissues.

No, ferns are vascular. They have particular cell types that transport water and solutes around the plant.



Ferns are not flowering plants, though.
