What evidence indicates that the mosses evolved from the green algae?

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 3 months ago

Algae do not keep the embryo inside of themselves but release it into water. This was the first feature to evolve that separated plants from green algae. This is also the only adaptation shared by all plants. Over time, plants had to evolve from living in water to living on land. The evidence suggests that land plants evolved from a line of filamentous green algae that invaded land about 410 million years ago during the Silurian period of the Paleozoic era. All green algae (Chlorophyta) and plants share a common evolutionary ancestor. They both contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The two lineages diverged between 630 million and 510 million years ago.
