Question

Notice that most of the plants Muir came across in his journey were from the phylum Anthophyta. Why does it make sense that those types of plants are so much more common than plants from the Bryophyta phylum, for example? (Think reproductive adaptations!) (10 points)

Answer 1

Phylum Anthophyta

Explanation:

Phylum Anthophyta is the phylum of flowering plants.

Bryophytes are group of seedless non-vascular plant.They are called the amphibians of plant kingdom because to complete their life cycle, they need both water and  land.

Anthophyta are dominant group than the bryophyta because:

• They have a well developed vascular system.

• They have their seeds enclosed within fruits and protective sed coat that keep them viable for a long time.
