What plants are the ancestors of angiosperms?

Angiosperms are a department of higher plants, its difference from other species is the presence of a flower that facilitates sexual reproduction and the formation of an ovule, where the seeds ripen. We observe the first remains of angiosperms in the distant past, in the layers of the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods. The oldest representatives of angiosperms are plants from the nymphaean group, perennial aquatic herbaceous plants that form a very powerful root system, these are very long-lived species. The nymphaean species include water lilies – White Water Lily, Barclaya, Purple Ondinea, Victoria. Already later in the later layers of the Cretaceous angiosperms turned out to be the dominant form and representatives of modern families – magnolia, maple – can be considered. In today’s era, across the globe, from the pole to the equator, flowering angiosperms are the bright representatives of angiosperms, they have perfectly adapted to climate change and the external habitat.
