In the section Ecological and evolutionary classification, it is pointed out that land plants are descended from aquatic plants. The early aquatic plants required few modifications for structural support or water and nutrient absorption, since the surrounding water fulfilled their needs. The water, far denser than the air, buoyed the plant body; the thin integument permitted a free exchange of nutrients across the entire relatively small body surface and a passive mechanism for spreading their gametes. Once primitive plants began to invade the land, however, modifications for support, nutrient and water absorption, turgidity, and reproduction were required to compensate for the absence of an aqueous environment. Because organic soils were not widely developed, the earliest terrestrial plants probably first colonized bare rock near large water sources, such as oceans and lakes.
