Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coevolution between flowering plants and insects, especially bees, played a significant role in the success and domination of flowering plants over the past 100 million years. Insects are important pollinators for flowering plants, and the evolution of intricate floral structures and nectar rewards in flowering plants has attracted and ensured the transfer of pollen by bees and other insects. This symbiotic relationship has allowed for the diversification and expansion of flowering plant species. While dinosaurs and gymnosperms coexisted with flowering plants during their evolution, they did not play as significant a role in their domination. Mammals and humans evolved relatively recently in comparison and did not have a significant impact on the evolution of flowering plants.
