Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Avoiding dehydration. Plants on land would have developed roots to acquire water from the soil. They also developed stomata ( by difinition: Stomata permit the absorption of carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis from the air, as well as the removal of excess oxygen) on the underside of their leaves to reduce water loss. Adaptation to arid environments involved waxy coats and fleshy leaves for water storage.*biology
