Crooksoluis yellionuis

From OurFoodChain

Descended from Taxonomum florus Stem is 5 cm tall, head has a diameter of 2 cm Taxonomum yellionuis grows on the ground in zone C. They have developed a short stem which allows them to photosynthesize easier. They also sport a more advanced root system to keep them anchored to the loose and muddy soil. To reproduce, they release their seeds into the air to spread via the wind. This polyph has lost the photosynthetic matter that its ancestors had, instead photosynthesizing with their petals, which have since developed to become photosynthetic and more leaf-like. The reason this was selected for is due to the new leaves being higher in the air, meaning they can photosynthesize more efficiently. The thorns on the side of the stem are sections of hardened proteins that originally developed to prevent the stems getting eaten, because if the stem would be eaten the polyph would die. At the top of the stem in the middle of the new leaves, the seed pod has developed a thick casing to prevent the seeds within from being eaten. This shell will pop off once the plant is ready to spread its seeds.depnding on the humidity The pod will hatch causing the reproductive stage to start. The seeds have developed rigid root structures that help them glide through the air in order to spread more easily. It takes several months for the plant to regrow its seeds and shell.
