He had to write an essay on ferns.

He wrote: A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having certain tissue that conducts water and nutrients, and having branched stems. Like other vascular plants, ferns have leaves, and these are "megaphylls", which are more complex than the "microphylls" of clubmosses. Most ferns are leptosporangiate ferns, sometimes termed "true ferns"; they produce what are called fiddleheads that uncoil and expand into fronds. The group includes about 10,560 known extant species.

Greg wrote: Ferns are plants. They don't have seeds and they don't have flowers. Ferns produce fiddleheads and they turn into fronds. There are tons of ferns in the world.
