Hello students here we are discussing about how plants started to adapt to leave on land.
00:08
First plants evolved from aquatic ancestors to live on land.
00:24
This transition was possible due to several adaptations such as the development of a vaccine.
00:47
Cuticle on the surface of the leaves and also on stems which helped to prevent water loss and also dehydration process.
01:17
Additionally the evolution of root system allowed plant to anchor themselves in the soil and absorb nutrients and water from the ground.
01:33
In non -vascular plant, such as mosses and liver wards, these were the first plants to colonize land.
01:55
They lacked true roots, stems, and leaves, but they had adaptations that allowed them to survive in a harsh terrestrial environment.
02:12
For example, these non -vascular plants had rhizoids, which are root -like structures that anchor to the plant to the ground and absorbs water and also some nutrients.

Vascular plants such as ferns and gynospirms evolved later and had more complex adaptation...
