Answer 4

For plants to be useful in agriculture they need to be:

Easily grown, meaning simple needs and no specialized things like a single species of fungal mycorrhizae partners

Have a short life cycle that allows for rapid domestication and enhances the usefulness of the plant after domestication

Or have a have a long lifespan but a product that is not dependent on destruction of the plant (like maple trees and maple syrup or rubber trees).

There are more but that should be helpful.

Answer 6

Seedless plants (or the Gymnosperms, aka the naked seed plants) lack the either the entire structure used for food ( the seedless) or lack the tissue layer than is most commonly used as food (the gymnosperms).
