Before plants took over the land, life began in the water. 🌊🌱 In this episode of Deep Dive, we dive into the world of primarily aquatic plants, including green algae and their relatives—the ancestors of all land plants. Discover their diverse forms, their crucial role in aquatic ecosystems, and the fascinating life cycles that include both haploid and diploid generations. How did these organisms pave the way for life on land? Why are they still essential today? Join us as we trace the green thread back to its watery origins. 🔬🌿
