They were only "important" in the sense that they were key developments in what led to things as they are now. Otherwise, they are no more or less important than any other adaptation.
Described by the definition for evolution. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Many biologists, myself included, do not like the terms micro and macro evolution. The prefered terms many of us use are; evolution ( instead of microevolution ) speciation ( instead of macroevolution )
The fitness of a variant is expressed in terms of the average number of offspring.

Evolution--basically anything that is "change over time" in the terms you are thinking is evolution.
Angiosperms contain both seeds and flowers, while gymnosperms only contain seeds. Instead of relying on wind pollination, angiosperms attract bees and other insects (with the colors and decor of their flowers), whom which collect and distribute pollen (insect pollination). Insect pollination is more reliable than wind pollination.
Most flowers seek to attract pollinating insects for cross-fertilisation. They do not want their flowers to be eaten before setting seeds for future off-spring.
(a)where the return, in terms of fitness, would be greatest (reproductive structures) (b) Examples: i)cannabinol in marijuana flowers and seeds ii) pyretherins in daisy flowers iii) cyanogens in rose family (apple, peach, almond) seeds.

Darwinian evolution is descent with modification and natural selection, or, in other terms, reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.
Vestigial organs is the term referring to useless organs left from evolution.
in broad terms they are spermatophyte's
