Gymnosperms are a group of seed-bearing plants that produce “naked” seeds, meaning their seeds are not enclosed within an ovary or fruit. Many gymnosperms, such as conifers, are evergreen trees or shrubs with woody stems.
The defining characteristic of gymnosperms is the presence of naked seeds. They are vascular plants and include forms like conifers, cycads, ginkgo, and gnetophytes.
Angiosperms (flowering plants) have seeds enclosed within a fruit. Pteridophytes (ferns and horsetails) are vascular plants but do not produce seeds; they reproduce via spores. Monocotyledons are a subgroup of Angiosperms.
