What is ferns seed nyt?

Ferns do not produce seeds in the same way that flowering plants do. Instead, they reproduce by producing tiny spores on the undersides of their fronds. These spores are dispersed by wind, and if they land in favorable conditions, they can grow into new fern plants.

The idea of "fern seeds" is actually a myth that dates back to medieval times. It was believed that ferns produced seeds that could make the bearer invisible. This belief eventually evolved into the superstition that carrying a fern seed could bring good luck or be used as a talisman.

Today, we know that ferns do not produce seeds and that the idea of "fern seeds" is a figment of folklore. Nevertheless, the idea persists and has been the subject of poems, songs, and other works of literature over the years.
