To compare:
The adaptations of a seed plant and an alga in terms of life on land versus life in water.
Concept introduction:
The seed plants include two major categories of plants called the
An alga is a non flowering aquatic plant that contains chlorophyll. They do not have a root, shoot and leave system. They are plant like organism living in water that do not bear seeds.
