Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants with seeds not enclosed in fruit. They typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves and reproduce through cones. Gymnosperms include conifers, cycads, ginkgo, and gnetophytes.
Conifers are gymnosperms because their seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. Instead, the seeds are found on the scales of cones, which are exposed and not protected by an ovary. This characteristic distinguishes them from angiosperms, which are flowering plants with seeds enclosed within a fruit.
The main characteristics used to differentiate between angiosperms and gymnosperms are the presence of flowers and enclosed seeds in angiosperms, while gymnosperms have exposed seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Angiosperms also produce fruits to enclose their seeds, whereas gymnosperms do not. Additionally, angiosperms are typically more diverse in terms of species and are the dominant plant group in most environments.
Gymnosperms are divided into four main classes: Coniferopsida (conifers), Cycadopsida (cycads), Ginkgopsida (ginkgo), and Gnetopsida (gnetae). Each class includes different groups of gymnosperms with distinct characteristics and reproductive structures.
The scientific name for gymnosperms is Gymnospermae.
Two characteristics that define gymnosperms are that they do not produce flowers or fruits and do not pollinate
Yes, both gymnosperms and angiosperms are seed-producing plants. However, gymnosperms do not produce flowers, which is a characteristic unique to angiosperms.

They produce seeds that are not enclosed by fruits.

All gymnosperms have seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit, typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves, and usually have cones for reproduction. They are usually woody and perennial plants.
