Evolutionary biologists have coined the term exaptation to describe a common occurrence in the evolution of life. A plant organ originally has a particular function, however, fulfills a new one. Provide two examples of exaptation in plant organs and elaborate comprehensively.
Name 4 different evolutionary adaptations that allowed plants to survive on land instead of in water. Explain the significance of each adaptation-how does it help terrestrial plants?
