Question

Why gymnosperm do not require water for fertilization

Answer 1

Gynosperms dont make flower and therefore their seeds are naked . Since they are naked and dont need to be fertilized , they dont need water and can survive in drier habitat . Water is required for fertilization !

Answer 2

Since sperm no longer need water to fertilize the egg, plants with pollen can reproduce at more times during the year and in drier habitats.
