The waxy coating on leaves, known as the cuticle, prevents the leaves from drying out too quickly.
Plants have adapted to survive on land through features such as a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss, vascular tissues for nutrient transport, and roots for anchorage and nutrient uptake. Additionally, the evolution of seeds and pollen allowed plants to reproduce without relying on water.
Plants on land must absorb water and nutrients from the soil, obtain sunlight for photosynthesis, exchange gases with the atmosphere (carbon dioxide in, oxygen out), establish a root system for anchorage and water uptake, and reproduce to ensure their genetic continuation.
Adaptive radiation spread them into many land niches
Spores allowed plants to reproduce and disperse in a dry environment, enabling them to colonize land. Spores served as a protective mechanism against desiccation and helped plants survive in diverse habitats. This adaptation was essential for the transition of plants from aquatic to terrestrial environments.
No, octopuses cannot survive on land because they require water to breathe and move.
Plants survive in land by the water

Protection of seeds
aquatic plants live in water because they cannot survive on land
there is a lot of hot land plants but no plants that have much water in it because the cant survive they need to be able to survive the heat buy themselves
they survive by all the nutrience in the ground.one they adapt to all the water in the ground
To be more specific, it's a WAXY cuticle. Wax is non-polar, thus hydrophobic.This allows for plants to retain water. Algae do not need to because they're habitually in water.
For plants to survive on land, they must have ways to obtain water and other materials from their surroundings, retain water, transport materials throughout the plant, support their bodies, and reproduce successfully. :D
what variation would helpa land plant survive if long lasting droughts developed?

Okay so the cuticle slows a plant's loss of water..... A cuticle is a waxy, protective layer that slows the loss of water. The cuticle is a structure that helps plants survive on land
