Which of the following is a key feature of seed plants facilitating life on land?

  • A: Homospory
  • B: Pollen
  • C: Reduced sporophytes
  • D: Spores

Explanation

Pollen grains enable the male gametophyte to be transported by wind or animals, eliminating the need for water for fertilization, which is a major adaptation for terrestrial life. This distinguishes seed plants from many seedless plants that require water for sperm dispersal.
