Plants, if your Catholic, came from God. When he made the Earth he made plants, water, animals, rocks, and things of that nature. Then he made man, Adam, and woman, Eve.
Plants, if your not religious, came from soil that fertilized nutrients in the ground which formed into seeds over time. When it rained the seeds grew larger and larger until they grew into plants and trees and such. And they make their own seeds that fall onto the soil making the pattern continue.
Plants, as in house plants, came to be by a farmer, by which we don't know his/her name, by digging a plant out of their soil and watering it and keeping it warm over the non farming season. This turned out quite nicely and now we have such things as house plants.
Research on the ancestors of plants involved studying algae, as they are believed to be the ancestors of land plants. This is because algae and plants share common traits such as photosynthesis and cell structure. By analyzing the similarities and differences between algae and plants, scientists were able to trace the evolutionary history of plants.
The first group of terrestrial plants were likely non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts. These plants were among the earliest to colonize land, evolving from aquatic ancestors around 450 million years ago. They played a crucial role in forming the foundation for terrestrial ecosystems.
Plants can be inherited through seeds, which carry genetic information from the parent plants to the offspring. This genetic information determines the traits of the plant, such as its size, color, and growth patterns. By breeding specific plants with desired traits, plant breeders can create new varieties that are passed down through inheritance.
Scientists have found genetic, biochemical, and structural similarities between green algae and land plants, suggesting a shared evolutionary history. Fossil evidence also supports the idea that green algae were among the first photosynthetic organisms on Earth, paving the way for the evolution of land plants. Additionally, green algae and plants share key features such as chlorophyll pigments and cell wall composition.
Filipino ancestors were already using various biotech products such as fermented foods like bagoong (fish paste) and vinegar, herbal medicines derived from local plants, and traditional microbially-fermented beverages like basi (sugarcane wine). These products were integral to Filipino culture and cuisine long before the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century.
other plants
Plants are the ancestors of seaweeds. Convergent evolution caused their similarity. Both evolved from brown algae. Seaweeds are the ancestors of plants. Seaweeds are aquatic plants.

cyanobacteria (the probable ancestors of the chloroplasts in plant cells)
a single species of green algae
Green algae, particularly charophytes, are considered to be the closest relatives and ancestors of land plants. They share many characteristics with land plants, such as similar chloroplast structure and reproductive features. This close evolutionary relationship suggests that land plants evolved from green algae.
Because their basic cellular composition remains similar to the modern plants.
