cones
B
fruit
C
leaves
D
roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. They are the largest and most diverse group within the kingdom Plantae, with about 300, 000 species. Angiosperms represent approximately 80 percent of all known living green plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads, angiosperm’s seeds are found in a flower. Angiosperm eggs are fertilized and develop into a seed in an ovary that is usually in a flower. The flowers of angiosperms have male or female reproductive organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperm plants produce seeds encased in “fruits, ” which include the fruits that you eat, but which also includes plants you might not think of as fruits, such as maple seeds, acorns, beans, wheat, rice, and corn.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ovary in angiosperms develops into the fruit whereas the ovules become the seeds enclosed within the fruit. Seeds are found both in gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Detailed explanation-5: -The function of the fruit is seed dispersal. They also protect the developing seed. Different fruit structures or tissues on fruit-such as sweet flesh, wings, parachutes, or spines that grab-reflect the dispersal strategies that help spread seeds.
