Begin to see equisetum and angiosperms as the diploid form. Concurs as a selective advantage on these organisms- not known if its true or not: spermatophyte- the seed is crucial for the ability of the organism to survive, gymnosperm- archegonial life structure that is important. Within sporophyte structure of the gymnosperm- surrounded by meiotic protective layer. Both gametophyte and initial sporophyte provide protection and nutrients to the new diploid embryo inside. Crucial in terms of how these organisms have been successful in the invasion of land. In terms of ecology of the higher plant. Seed trait of gymnosperm have been around for 350 million years. Angiosperm for 150 million years: ferns have retained dominant state. Angiosperm beats all of em in dominance: bryophytes- have around 22,400 species.
