Why are seed plants an evolutionary advantage? Seeds allows for the transport of water and nutrients. Seeds develop into adults without sexual reproduction. Seeds protect and nourish young, growing plants. Seeds provide the materials for photosynthesis.
C. Seeds protect and nourishing young, growing plants
Explanation;
Storage tissue to sustain growth and a protective coat give seeds superior evolutionary advantage over other type of plants. The seeds also contain an embryo which can be dormant until the conditions are favorable for growth.
Additionally, seeds have an embryo that is diploid, which means it has two sets of chromosomes. The diploid seed germinates into sporophyte, this is different from fern and bryophyte which contain cells that are haploid that depend on water for faster gametophytes developments.
