The correct answer is:
It propagates vegetatively by its leaf tips
Adiantum caudatum is commonly called walking fern because its leaf tips when coming in contact with soil, form new plants as adventitious buds develop at leaf tips. This helps in the spread of fern over a large soil surface and thus, the name walking fern is derived.
