It is a symbol of endurance, independence, defiance against difficulties, hardiness, perseverance, and resourcefulness.
The fern is a hardy plant that can grow in difficult places. "An individual who wears this symbol suggests that he has endured many adversities and outlasted much difficulty." (Willis, The Adinkra Dictionary)
