  This compelled me to Google how ferns reproduce…which brought me to an /r/botany thread…

  I have more questions now than when I started.

  They airdrop babie parts that grow into genitals to have sex with themselves to make themselves, if I recall correctly.

      Sometimes I click the links AI gives back as source and usually the website has nothing to do with the information I’m given.

    It’s actually closer to firing fully formed babies out of a cannon and hoping they land close enough to each other to have sex and then their kid grows into a fern again

    That’s basically correct, yes! The baby parts are the gametophytes and they then use their male and female parts to produce a new zygote, which will grow into a sporophyte. This sporophyte is what we know as a fern. It will produce and finally release many many spores, which are the “airdrop baby parts”.
