"The Evolution of Plants"

“The Evolution of Plants” describes how plants have changed over hundreds of millions of years. Early plants were simple, non-vascular organisms like mosses, which could grow only in moist environments. Over time, plants developed vascular tissues to transport water and nutrients, allowing them to grow taller and colonize new areas. The evolution continued with the rise of seed-producing plants like conifers, and eventually flowering plants (angiosperms), which dominate today’s landscapes. These advancements increased plants’ survival, reproduction, and diversity, shaping ecosystems and providing vital resources for other life forms, including humans.
