Chapter 16, Problem 8MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Evolution of plants arises from the ancestral plants called protista. Protista adapts to land plants by developing cuticle and stomata. Later on, these plants developed vascular tissues and were called vascular plants. Vascular plants develop pollen and seeds and become flowering and nonflowering plants.
