O Land-dwelling plants have developed vascular tissue in order to transport water and nutrients from the soil to the structures of

the plant.

Answer:

O Land-dwelling plants have developed vascular tissue in order to transport water and nutrients from the soil to the structures of the plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants that live in water called AQUATIC plants, are structurally adapted to the water environment. One of these adaptations is that they have the ability to absorb minerals needed for their growth and development from the water around them.

However, land-dwelling or terrestrial plants also possess this ability to absorb minerals, however, they have a different adaptation from the aquatic or water-dwelling plants. Land-dwelling plants have developed vascular tissue (xylem, phloem) in order to transport water and nutrients from the soil to the structures of the plant.
