It is a fern and belongs to Phylum Pterophyta

Fern is a plant with fronds that are attached to rhizomes. The frond is the leaf of the fern and the rhizome is the root which grows. They have vascular tissue which means that they use tubular structures to transport nutrients throughout the plant. They reproduce by spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.
