The invention of the flower was a major improvement in land based reproduction. While a few angiosperms still rely on wind-based pollination for their flowers (mainly trees), most angiosperm flowers are vector pollinated. This has resulted in a parallel evolution between angiosperms and animals (mostly insects). In the Plant Kingdom parallel evolution occurs in the plant species of angiosperms between the angiosperms and the animals/insects that pollinate them. This is also an example of mutualism, as both species are benefiting from the relationship they hold.
