Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, have co-evolved with pollinators and have a more efficient form of reproduction than gymnosperms, which has increased their dominance in the plant world. They also have more advanced root systems and photosynthetic structures, which have contributed to their ability to outcompete other plants and increase productivity in ecosystems.
