NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -How does the cuticle represent and adaptive advantage for early land plants? The cuticle, a waterproof covering, reduces water loss. It allowed early land plants to survive in drier environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sporophyte possess a complex of vascular tissue: vascular tissue permits larger size because water can be translocated from the soil to the plant. Vascular tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular plants are able to grow taller than nonvascular plants because they have more lignin in their cell walls. 2. They can live in drier areas than nonvascular plants because the cell walls of vascular plants are less permeable to water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pteridophytes are also called first vascular cryptogam or spore-bearing vascular plants. They are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues. Xylem transport water and minerals to different parts of the plant body and phloem transports organic food to the plant body.
