Land plants are embryophytes; their embryo forms in a chamber on the parental body and is nourished by the parent
Three early-evolving plant lineages are known collectively as bryophytes; these nonvascular plants do not produce seeds
Vascular plants have internal pipelines that transport water and sugars
The first seed plants were gymnosperms; angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most diverse plant lineage, and the most recently evolved
