Plants and Their Relatives

Plants were the first organisms to colonize dry land, and they paved the way for animals. Now they’re the most prominent living feature in any landscape we see.
Their evolution has been a process of increasing independence from the water, and of ever more complex reproductive strategies.
Plants living today still reflect the adaptations of their ancient ancestors.
