The kingdom Plantae constitutes large and varied groups of organisms. There are more than 300,000 species of identified and cataloged plants. Using the geologic record, discuss and explain when and how plants colonized the land. Include the adaptations that enabled them to survive on land amid the harsh environmental conditions.

In order to make it, various physical obstacles had to be overcome. Choose one adaptation and explore it further. What evidence do we have of this change? Are there specific fossils of plants that exhibit it? How do we think it may have developed? Not all of these changes occurred at the exact same time.
