Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Adiantum is known as the "walking fern" because it can propagate vegetatively through its leaves.
When the tips of its long, arching fronds (leaves) touch the moist soil, they develop adventitious buds. These buds grow into new independent plantlets. Over time, as the plant repeats this process, it appears to "walk" across the ground and cover new areas.
