Identify and describe as many plant adaptations to land as you can.
Describe a minimum of two ways the plants changed the lien environment to support the emergencies of land animals?
When plants first moved on to land, they faced with a wide variety of new challenges. Two of these challenges include the risk of drying out and the ability to access/transport resources. Describe not just list 4 adaptations that allow plants to cope with these challenges, 2 for coping with drying out and 2 for coping with accessing/transporting resources.
