  1. Similarities: They both reproduce by spores, they have no flowers, they both need the same conditions to germinate.

    Differences: The spore cases on a fern is underneath the fronds (Leaves) while the moss spore case is on a thin stalk and during the germination process both moss and fern look like moss and the moss retains this appearance while the fern changes its appearance.


  2. dif is that while in a moss,sporophyte is dominant, gametophyte is dominant in ferns.

    similarity is that both are cryptogams that is there sexual organs are hidden

  3. Similarity:  both have alternation of generations with multicellular haploid and diploid stages; both also reproduce with spores

    Difference:  dominant stage in mosses is the gametophyte (haploid stage) while in ferns it is the sporophyte (diploid stage)
