No, the first plants did require water for transferring sperm to eggs. These plants, known as bryophytes (such as mosses and liverworts), rely on water to enable the sperm to swim and reach the eggs for fertilization. It was only later in plant evolution, with the emergence of seed plants, that the need for water for fertilization was reduced or eliminated, as these plants developed mechanisms for sperm transfer through pollen.

What were the first plants that did not require water for transferin sperm to eggs?
gymnosperms
Seed plants do not require what for reproduction?
a film of water on the plant for the sperm to reach the egg
Why do seedless plants require liquid water for reproduction?
Seedless plants require the liquid water because the sperm has to swim to reach the egg. This is in contrast to most seed plants, that fertilize using pollen transferred by wind or insects.
Do nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants have swimming sperm?
No.
What is the choloroplasts function?
to produce sperm in plants

What does fertilization not require in most seed plants?
a film of water to carry the sperm to the egg

Why are bryophytes considered incompletely adapted to the terrestrial environment when compared with other plants?
They require moisture for fertilization to occur. Their sperm are flagellated.
Do sperm swim to the eggs on fungi plants?
Fungi plants have no sperm cells, so no
Does bamboo produce sperm?
plants do not produce sperm, they produce pollen
Hermaphroditic earthworms reproduce by transferring sperm to each other. The sperm from one worm eventually fertilize the other worm's eggs. This process is known as?
Cross-fertilization
