The conquest of the earth by vegetables.
The evolution of plants, like that of animals, started from primitive aquatic species that gradually ascended to the terrestrial domain.

Aquatic plants have nutrition resolved through the walls of their structure or thallus, and in the water they do not need support mechanisms.

Water also facilitated the transport of sexual gametes and the dispersal of spores.

To survive on land they have needed to develop a stronger and more compact support structure (the stem), roots to attach to the soil and absorb nutrients and water, leaves to carry out photosynthesis and reproductive organs, such as flowers. and seeds, through which gametes can unite without the need for water as a means of transport.

The thallophytes are so called because they are made up of the thallus, which is a simple group of plant cells without conducting vessels, nor stem, nor root, nor leaves.

The cormophytes are plants that carry out their functions through appropriate organs made up of tissues.

The main fabrics are:

The organs are of two kinds: vegetative and reproductive.
The corm is the set of tissues and organs that form the body of the cormophyte plant.
