FernsClub mosses, which are the earliest form of seedless vascular plants, are lycophytes that contain a stem and microphylls.Horsetails are often found in marshes and are characterized by jointed stems with whorled leaves.Photosynthesis occurs in the stems of whisk ferns, which lack roots and leaves.Most ferns have branching roots and form large compound leaves, or fronds, that perform photosynthesis and carry the reproductive organs of the plant.

Tree FernTree ferns are a large group of ferns with tree-like form. They are part of a subclass of ferns which is proved to be monophyletic by DNA sequence analysis.Unlike flowering plants, tree ferns do not form new woody tissue in their trunk as they grow. Rather, the trunk is supported by a fibrous mass of roots that expands as the tree fern grows.
