15. Frond



Frond is a large leaf with many divisions. Ferns in this picture is a good example of frond because its leaves have many divisions within it. Fronds usually refer to ferns, but it can also describe cycads and palms. The stalk of the fern is called the stripe and where the individual leaves are located is called the rachis. The blades of ferns can be classified into being simple, pinnatifid, or pinnate. Ferns reproduce with spores that are under their leaves.
