|
Term
Bikonts: Archaeplastida - Plantae - Green Plants - Land Plants - Vascular Land Plants
|
|
Definition
- S: Have a vascular system. All have tracheid
- S: a branchign idnependet sporophyte. Offers the advantage of producign more spores than the unbranching spores
- The tracheid, elongated cells in the xylem that serve in the transport of water and mineral salts) was a significant developments because it provided a pathway for transport of water, allowng for it not to be necessary for land plants to be close to water.
