Detailed explanation-1: -Ferns and mosses are some of the first greenery we see after a fire. They have rhizomes, horizontal stems tucked away underground that stay protected and often survive moderate fires. The booster shot of nutrients available immediately after a fire makes for rich soil for the new sprouts.
Detailed explanation-2: -They remain intact inside the soil even after a forest fire. So, the correct answer is “Option D”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fire acts as a generalist herbivore removing plant material above the ground surface, thus enabling new herbaceous growth. Above ground re-sprouting: While many trees are killed by total defoliation following a fire, some can re-sprout from epicormic buds, which are buds positioned beneath the bark.
