State
Early land plants evolved key adaptations to life on land: the haplodiplontic cycle of Bio 1001, apical meristem tissue, a waxy cuticle, and lignified cell walls.
Show
A moss's waxy cuticle resists drying; lignin stiffens cell walls in later lineages.
Watch for
Not every land plant shows all four — mosses lack lignin, and losing one does not remove a lineage from the group.
