When did the first seed plants appear?
Quick Answer
The first seed plants appeared about 360 million years ago, in the late Devonian period.
The Full Story
Seed plants evolved near the end of the Devonian, roughly 360 million years ago. This was a major innovation because seeds protected embryos and allowed plants to reproduce without needing free-standing water like many spore plants do. Seed plants later diversified into gymnosperms such as conifers and, much later, flowering plants. Their success changed landscapes around the world and helped make drier habitats more plant-friendly.
