Which of the following were probably factors that permitted early plants to successfully colonize land?
1)the relative number of potential predators (herbivores)
2)the relative number of competitors
3)the relative availability of symbiotic partners
4)air's relative lack of support, compared to water's support

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early plants likely succeeded in colonizing land due to fewer predators (herbivores) and competitors, and the availability of symbiotic partners, such as mycorrhizal fungi, which helped them absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The lack of support in air compared to water is a challenge plants had to overcome through structural adaptations, not a factor that aided their colonization.
