Lichens helped create favorable conditions for the growth of spore-producing plants such as ferns and mosses. D. Seed-bearing plants evolved much later than spore-producing plants, but both types of plants had evolved well before the formation of the Hawaiian Islands. E. Unlike spores, seeds must move to new habitats in order to have a strong chance of survival and growth. F.
