A type of fern that grows in boggy, marshy, or wet environments; a fern species adapted to wetland conditions.
From 'bog' (marshy ground) + 'fern' (the plant). The compound name indicates both the habitat and the plant type, following English naming conventions.
Bog ferns are remarkably adapted to acidic, waterlogged soil where most plants would rot—they have special tissues that prevent water logging and roots that function in oxygen-poor mud, making them botanical champions of the worst conditions.
