Evolutionary Adaptations to Flowering Plants

Flowering plants, or angiosperms, are plants of the class of Angiospermae that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary and is characterized by the possession of fruits and flowers. They are adapted to life on land than mosses by several reasons. Adaptations that angiosperms went through to become a more successful terrestrial organism than mosses are the development in their vascular tissues and their specialization in their organ for sexual reproduction, the flower. <Tab/&…

…many other means that angiosperms have of dispersal. Also, a weakness of spore distribution is that if there were no winds to carry the spores to other locations, the moss will have failed to spread its spores and enjoy reproductive success. By having so many means of dispersal available, angiosperms have a much higher chance of proliferation, and spreading their seeds. As is obvious, angiosperms are undoubtedly better suited to living on land than mosses.
