There is very little evidence for any plant life in the Precambrian Period. There is evidence in the form of stromatolites (found near Shark Bay in Australia) for bacteria.
Some controversial fossils from the 1.25 billion year old Hatakai Shale from the Grand Canyon in the USA suggest that there was plant life in the Precambrian. Creationalist often use this as evidence that evolution is not true.

Was the crust solid in the Precambrian Eon?
Except for a short period when the Earth was molten, a solid crust had formed in the Precambrian.
Which is the oldest geologic period?
The earliest geological period is known as the Precambrian. This is a very long period of time which begins about four and a half billion years ago, with the formation of the Earth, ending at the beginning of the Cambrian Era which is about 541 million years ago. So the Precambrian is about four billion years long, longer than all other eras combined.
What is the time range of Precambrian Era?
Precambrian time - The period in the geologic time scale from the formation of the Earth to the beginning of the Palezonoic era, from about 4.6 billion to 543 million years ago.
Which Era is the longest Precambrian Paleozic Mesozoic or Cenozoic?
Precambrian
What group of plants evolved during the mesozoic era and is still dominant today?
Precambrian
Why are there no precambrian coal beds?
No plants existed during the Precambrian. The formation of coal beds relied on vegetation.
Any precambrian tine animals and plants that have turned into fossils?
Yes, although the fossil record for the precambrian period is scarce. See related link.
Why is PreCambrian called PreCambrian?
Precambrian is BEFORE the Cambrian period!
Were there plants in the Cambrian time period?
No. Primitive algae existed but true plants did not. There was no life on land in the Cambrian.
What was the longest segment of the earth's history?
It was the Precambrian time period.
What Were the dominant plants in the precambrian?
Ferns
Were there any trees during the PreCambrian period?
There were no trees in the Precambrian Super-Eon (4576.2 - 542Ma). There were plants in the Precambrian. Simple green algae associated with aquatic environments were thought to evolved around 2.5 billion years ago during the Proterozoic Era. It was not until the Cambrian Period 510 million years ago, the 1st complex land plants evolved. The first trees do not appear in the fossil record until the Late Devonian Period about 385 million years ago.
Why is the Precambrian time period segmented into very few parts?
The Precambrian time period is segmented into very few parts because:
What else besides seeweed were plants in the precambrian Era?
Seaweeds were not present in the Precambrian, The first plants were simple single celled algae or colonial varieties which formed stromatolites. There were no land plants.
Precambrian are fossils yes or no?
Precambrian is a geologic period that extends as back as 4.500 million years ago. Fossils are very rare from that period of time.
What was the Precambrian era's climate?
The Precambrian is a long period and just as Earth has many climates now, it had many then.
What is the name of a single celled life form that existed in Precambrian earth?
During the Precambrian era, the only single celled organism that existed is the cyanobacteria. They are 3.5 billion years old, making them one of the most important bacteria on Earth.
