You would expect to find spores primarily **on the underside of fern fronds**. Ferns reproduce via spores which are produced in sporangia located on the undersides of their fronds.
Additionally:
- **Moss rhizoids** anchor the moss but do not produce spores.
- **Fiddleheads** are the coiled, young fronds of ferns that have not yet unfurled, and they do not contain spores.
- A **new gametophyte** refers to the haploid stage in the life cycle of plants, which develops from spores but is not the location of spores themselves.
So, in summary, the answer is primarily **on the underside of fern fronds**.
