What reproductive requirements are necessary for a plant to move from an aquatic to terrestrial habitat?

Question

Any sources?

Answer 1

To become terristerial the plant will also need a waxy cuticle to conserve water in the arid environment. It will also need a vascular system to make it to land with out these two things there will be a reproductive system.

Answer 2

Since the terrestrial variety wouldn't be surrounded by water, it's going to have to have a way to get the gametes together. In some plants the sperms still swim to the eggs in a thin layer of moisture (moss, fern). In others, the gametophyte is greatly reduced to ensure fertilization and the sporophyte is the dominant generation.
