- Fiddleheads are ferns.
I know this because fiddleheads are the young, coiled fronds of a fern that unfurl as they grow. They are a distinctive feature of fern plants and are not found in mosses, conifers, or flowering plants.
- Cedar is a conifer.
I know this because cedars are evergreen trees that produce cones and have needle-like leaves. Conifers are gymnosperms, which reproduce using cones rather than flowers, and cedars fit this classification.
- A cactus is a flowering plant.
I know this because cacti are part of the family Cactaceae, which are angiosperms (flowering plants). Although many people associate them with spines and succulent stems, all cacti produce flowers at some point in their life cycle.
