Ferns are a type of terrestrial plant that does not produce seeds, unlike gymnosperms and flowering plants. This significant evolutionary divergence contributed to the dominance of gymnosperms and flowering plants. How might the ability to produce seeds have advantaged these groups? It allowed these plants to photosynthesize more efficiently. It allowed these plants to attract more pollinators. It allowed these plants to better disperse, colonize new habitats, and survive drier conditions. It allowed these plants to grow taller and compete for sunlight.
