Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vascular tissue, which includes xylem and phloem, allowed plants to transport water and nutrients more efficiently, which in turn allowed them to grow taller. This is because taller plants require more water and nutrients than shorter plants, and vascular tissue allows them to access those resources more effectively. Seeds, flowers, and photosynthesis may have also played important roles in plant evolution, but they are not directly linked to increased height in the way that vascular tissue is.
