Ancestor:Descendants:

The colonial marsh humm replaced its ancestor, it lives in tight clusters of individuals that work together to absorb nutrients from the soil, collect and retain water, and grow by sharing the sugars they produce. Sharing sugar allows the younger flora to grow rapidly even when denied access to light from the larger members of the colony. Because they live in clusters and are rooted in the ground it is inevitable that there will be dead members standing among them, the deceased have been put to use through evolution by being the only members to produce noise, all the others are silent and use their leaves entirely for the purpose of producing sugars. To keep the colony going for several generations they produce non-airborne spores that simply fall off their parent and take root in, under, or around the colony.
