[1 Mark]
4.
Which group of plants is often referred to as the 'amphibians of the plant kingdom' because they live on land but require water for reproduction?

9.
In plant evolution, which group was the first to develop specialised vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and food, though they still do not produce seeds?
[1 Mark]
