The evolutionary adaptations that helped plants succeed and spread on land are **vascular tissue and seeds**.
Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) allowed plants to efficiently transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout their structures, supporting greater height and complexity. Seeds provided a protective structure for the developing plant and enabled plants to reproduce more effectively in diverse environments by allowing dormancy and greater dispersal capabilities. These adaptations were crucial for the colonization and diversification of terrestrial habitats.
