Gymnosperms and Angiosperms: Vascular Seed Plants

The video discusses the evolution of plants, highlighting the abundance of seedless ferns during the Carboniferous period and the formation of coal deposits. It then explains the rise of seed plants during the Permian period, which became dominant due to their ability to thrive in drier climates. Vascular seed plants, including gymnosperms and angiosperms, are described as the most successful plant group due to their seed-based reproduction. The video emphasizes the advantages of seeds, such as protection from environmental factors, diverse dispersal methods, and the ability to remain dormant until conditions are favorable, allowing them to colonize various global regions.
