Classification: It belongs to a genus of ferns (not flowering plants) within the Equisetaceae family.

Common Name: It is commonly known as "Horsetail" due to the distinctive shape of its stems.

General Form: They are unique, perennial (long-living) herbaceous plants.

Stems: The stems are hollow, clearly divided into nodes (joints) and internodes (sections between joints), giving them an articulated or segmented appearance.

Leaves: The leaves are very small and reduced to whorls of scales fused around the nodes, which often makes the green stems appear leafless.

Reproduction: It reproduces via spores instead of seeds, which are borne in specialized structures called strobili or spore cones located at the tips of certain stems.

Stem Types: Some species produce two distinct types of stems: fertile (spore-bearing) stems and sterile (green and branched) stems that appear later.

Habitat: It typically thrives in wet areas, such as marshes, swamps, and along the banks of rivers and streams.

Composition: The plant tissue is notably rich in the mineral silica.
