Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.
