Gymnosperm wood is divided into two types on the basis of the xylem cells present inside them, they are classified as:

- Manoxylic wood

- Pycoxylic wood

Manoxylic wood: This type of gymnosperm wood has low number of xylem cells in them. It has non-compacted wood with large pith cells. This wood is commercially unimportant because of the quality of wood.

Pycoxylic wood: This wood has large number of xylem cells in it. The cells are compacted with small amount of cortex. This wood is commercially important because of the quality of wood.
