Answer:
a. the seed ended the plants dependency on water
Explanation:
Seeds are the structures with a protective seed coat and carry the embryo along with stored nutrients in it. The evolution of seed habit in plants allows them not to depend on water for reproduction.
The seedless plants require water as a medium to bring their gametes in the vicinity for fertilization. On the other hand, seed plants such as gymnosperms and angiosperms produce pollen that carry the male gametes to a great distance with the help of natural pollinating agents.
