00:01 This question is asking about the adaptations in flowering plants on the land.
00:11 In case of reproduction, so since on land due to inavailability of water, the dispersion of gametes becomes difficult, as a result of which it is overcome by the dispersal of their pollen grains, with the help of some agents like wind, insects, animals.
00:39 Also there occurs evolution of seed.
00:45 This also allow the plants to reproduce independent of water.
00:52 It is because seeds contain several layers of tissues and these layers prevent the embryo from desiccation in the absence of water.
01:06 The next is how flowering plants support their plant body.
01:12 In flowering plants that grow on the land, they have the presence of vascular tissues like xylem, with the help of which they absorb the water as well as the minerals from the soil...
