Answer:

It is called mimicry when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a means of protection.

Explanation:

Mimicry is used primarily by living things as a means for protection and to decrease the chances of the living thing being killed. For example, a frog that is prey to a toad could have bright colors (bright color frogs are often poisonous) that don't mean anything to the frog and it's species, but to the toad, the frog is poisonous and should not be eaten, so the toad does not eat the frog because it is brightly colored.

Without mimicry, the frog would have been eaten because it wouldn't have had looked like a poisonous frog, or something that the toad would avoid.

Montano1993 [528]

Generally in non flowering plant the male sex organ is called the antheridium,while the female is called the  achegonium. Due to the habitat and methods of reproduction, special adaptive feature s have been developed by these plants to ensure reproduction and prevent extinction.

Explanation:

Based on structure,Antheridial (male sex cells) are usually upright in position,with pores located at the top of the antherialdial disk.These perforation is adaptive feature for effective dispersal of sperm during reproduction.

In addition  present in the  archegoniu is  the achegonium dsik. The latter  is the adaptive feature for protection of the archegonia.The disc serve as an umbrella surface for the protection of the archegonia during reproduction.Thus ovum is well protected  to ensure fertilization and prevent wastage.
