Final answer:
Angiosperms, or flowering plants, emerged around 125 million years ago in the Lower Cretaceous period, following the appearance of bryophytes about 500 million years ago.
Explanation:
Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, first appeared about 125 million years ago in the Lower Cretaceous period, which was late in the Mesozoic era. The rapid diversification of angiosperms occurred around 100 million years ago in the Middle Cretaceous.
