Seedless vascular plants are classified into three phyla namely the club mosses, horsetails and ferns. Ferns form the numerous seedless plants with true vascular tissue, creeping underground stems called the rhizomes and large leaves called the fronds. They reproduce via spores.
Ferns crowd on the forest floors even after cutting them down. They invade the cleared zone of forest which has been cut for timber via numerous spores. The spores are in clusters called sori on the underside of the leaves. The spores develop into haploid gametophytes by mitosis. They also grow by spreading their rhizomes or from the tips of their fronds.
Cutting the clusters would prevent ferns from invading a forest cut to produce wood if the clusters were cut before ripening.
Explanation:
Fern is a spore-forming plant. These spores can be spread by wind, water and animals allowing for other areas, allowing them to germinate and give rise to other ferns.
In the fern leaves, the spores appear in the reproductive season, they stay inside closed clusters, which open when they reach a certain maturity allowing the spores to invade other areas.
If you want the ferns not to invade a certain area, you must cut the clusters before they mature.
Inherited traits include not only physical traits that can be seen, but also other traits, such as health, susceptibility to disease and addictions, behaviors, abilities, talents and intelligence.
