THE ancestor plant Species name: umbrellolgalga megamicronia Common name: stalkleaf Niche: Producer size: 8mm-2cm Description: these plants start life as small floating "seeds" (click to see), that drift along in large clouds and are a good food source for herbivores. eventually they find a good place to rest, preferably near the surface, and begin to stick to it, using their bottom stalk. by the time they are fully grown they are too large to be eaten by most creatures, and because they can regenerate their stalks they reproduce quickly, although only 1-2 times in their lifetime. despite this lifecycle they are not as abundant as you might think, as out of 100 seeds in a cloud, only about 10-50 will survive, depending on the conditions
