Essentially yes, they’re sporangia fused into a capsule called a synangium. It’s an unusual feature distinctive of Marattiaceae.

I get a strange amount of joy from the repeated emails from a publisher asking if I want to expand my paper "Proposal to conserve the name Marattia attenuata (Ptisana attenuata) against M. acuminata (Marattiaceae)" into a book, which is like asking if I want to turn a parking ticket into a movie.
