Marattiopsida

Marattiopsida are ancient ferns, characterized by their large, fleshy fronds that can span impressive widths. These primitive plants often display a thick, woody rhizome, supporting the lush, green fronds that typically grow in shaded, humid environments. Marattiopsida's robust structure allows them to thrive in forest understories, contributing to their long evolutionary history.
