The seedless vascular plants not only include well-known plants such as ferns but also groups of plants called horsetails and club mosses. These plants originally arose after the bryophytes. Which of the following statements describes why seedless vascular plants are better adapted to dry land than the bryophytes? Seedless vascular plants have spores that can distribute on the wind. Seedless vascular plants have larger leaves, or fronds, that are more effective in absorbing nutrients from the environment. Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue and roots to effectively absorb and distribute water and nutrients throughout the plant. However, seedless vascular plants are still heavily dependent on water for reasons other than keeping hydrated. Which of the following statements correctly explains how seedless vascular plants are still dependent on water? Seedless vascular plants require water to germinate the spore to grow into a rhizome. Seedless vascular plants still have swimming sperm that need water to reach the eggs for fertilization. Seedless vascular plants require water, instead of wind, to spread their spores.
