It helps us understand why plants are so vitally important to the world. Plants start the majority of food and energy chains, they provide us with oxygen, food and medicine. Plants can be divided into two groups: plants1 and plants2 . Plants1 contain all photosynthetic organisms which use light, H2O, and CO2 to make organic compounds and O2 . Plants1 are defined ecologically (based on their role in nature).

These early plants, accompanied by their fungal mutualists and other microbes, transformed the rocky terrestrial landscape into an ecosystem with stratified soils and complex biotic communities. Synapomorphies of bryophytes derive from the challenges of life on land, while those of seedless vascular plants relate to increases in height and opportunities for meiosis (i.e. competition).
