The Plant Life Cycle
What was the major evolutionary adaptation that ferns underwent? What does it
transport?
Plants with vascular tissue can grow very tall. What structure is responsible for the
rigidity of the cell walls in sturdy woody tissue, which allows plants to grow tall?
In your own words, explain why this whole process is called a "cycle."
