Explanation:
Gymnosperm, any vascular plant that reproduces by means of an exposed seed, or ovule—unlike angiosperms, or flowering plants, whose seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries, or fruits. The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally “naked seeds”) are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity.
Gymnosperm is a subdivision of plants with naked seeds. They show following important characteristics:
✍️They are the most primitive and simplest seed bearing plants.
✍️ They are usually perennial, evergreen and woody plants, including trees and shrubs.
✍️ The seeds produced by these plants are naked and not enclosed within the fruit.
✍️ Their seeds contains a food storage tissue called endosperm for future growth of embryo during germination.
