Osmundales

Osmundales are ancient ferns, distinguished by large, divided fronds and a distinctively woody, trunk-like base. This group thrives in moist, shaded environments, where they absorb water and nutrients effectively through dense root systems. Their robust structure supports survival in various habitats, from swampy areas to forest undergrowth, aiding their widespread distribution and ecological adaptability.
