Throughout the course of life evolution has taken its place on plants and animals. One of the greatest evolutionary changes was the transition of life in water‚ to the transition to life on land. As you can imagine‚ both organisms had challenges moving from this single cellular water environment to a multi-cellular land environment. While the change was difficult‚ this new environment would help organisms flourish in life‚ giving them the ability to reproduce more freely‚ and eat with less competition
