      Yes, absolutely! All life evolves. It’s the most powerful force that shapes out planet and the life on it.
      The simplest types of plants still around today are things like the mosses and the ferns. There are a huge range of different plants now on earth- just look out the window, and all of them evolved from one original plant which was very simple.
