Which Specialization Evolved in Land Plants to Allow for Reproduction

Question

Which specialization evolved in land plants to allow for reproduction in dry conditions?  
A) Xylem
B) Phloem
C) Stomata
D) Roots
E) Sporophyte dominance

Accepted Answer

Sporophyte dominance is a key evolutionary adaptation in land plants for reproduction in dry conditions. It refers to the life cycle stage where the diploid sporophyte is the dominant and most conspicuous phase, allowing for more efficient dispersal and protection of spores, which are crucial for reproduction in terrestrial environments.
