The 'walking' fern is so named because

1. it is dispersed through the agency of walking animals
2. it propagates vegetatively by its leaf tips
3. it knows how to walk by itself
4. its spores are able to walk

Correct answer: it propagates vegetatively by its leaf tips

Solution

The walking fern gets its name from the way new plantlets form at the tips of its fronds and take root, making the plant seem to “walk” across a surface. This is vegetative propagation, not movement by animals or spores.
