Two adaptations of plants for living on land are the development of a waxy cuticle and the formation of deep root systems. The waxy cuticle helps reduce water loss by creating a barrier against evaporation, while deep root systems allow plants to access water and nutrients from the soil more effectively. Additionally, these adaptations enable plants to thrive in diverse terrestrial environments.
1.Development of stomata for gaseous exchange and 2. vascular tissue for transportation
Three key adaptations were needed for chordates to transition from living in water to living on land: development of lungs for breathing air, evolution of limbs for moving and supporting body weight on land, and changes in reproductive strategies to prevent desiccation of eggs.
Desiccation, as land plants had to develop adaptations to prevent water loss from their tissues.
Seed plants are flowering plants so they product pollen that land on the female ovule and then produce a pollen tube that releases 2 sperm to fertilize the ovum and the polar nuclei and these form into a seed. In other seedless plants like algae and mosses the plants produce spores which are similar to pollen and many different versions of female gametes. To be honest seedless plants have many different life cycles that are much more in depth so the fertilization process and the maturation of the plants are very different.
Terrestrial adaptations are exhibited by the plants and animals living in land habitats. As there are varied types of land habitats, the adaptations shown by organisms also are of diverse kinds.
Living on land required that plants develop adaptations to obtain water and nutrients from the soil, develop structures for support against gravity, and evolve methods for reproduction without the need for water.

Gametophytes are generally not as well adapted to land environments as sporophytes. While they play a crucial role in the life cycle of plants, particularly in non-vascular plants like mosses, they typically require moist conditions for reproduction and growth, as they rely on water for sperm mobility. In contrast, sporophytes, which are more dominant in vascular plants, have adaptations such as protective structures, roots, and the ability to produce seeds that allow them to thrive in a wider range of terrestrial environments. Thus, sporophytes are typically better suited for land life.
It's from it's natural adaptations.
No, land is not a living thing. Land is a physical area of the Earth's surface that includes soil, rocks, and other geological features. Living things, such as plants and animals, can exist on land, but the land itself is not alive.
