Which came first, the plant or the seed?Which came first, the plant or the seed?

The earliest fossils of complex land plants date from around 470 million years ago. They resembled liverworts – a kind of simple moss – and reproduced by releasing spores, which were carried away when it rained.

Spores contain a single cell, whereas a seed contains a multicellular, fertilised embryo that is protected from drying out by a tough coat. These extra features took another 150 million years to evolve, whereupon the first seed-bearing plants emerged. So plants came first, by a long way.

That's a good one. I've pondered the chicken or the egg question before, but this one is new to me

This is quite easy ti understand mythologically.
The first of all species were created by God. Then, they all commited a sin much like 'Adam and Eve story where Lucifer seduces Eve to eat that apple'. It was only then they became able to reproduce and grew in numbers.
