Detailed explanation-1: -The seeds of other conifers, such as yews, have a fleshy structure, known as an aril, surrounding them. The cones of juniper are fleshy and commonly eaten by birds. At maturity, a gymnosperm embryo has two or more seed leaves, known as cotyledons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The word “conifers” means “bearing cones.” Conifers are plants that use cones to house their seeds. Conifers are woody plants and most of them are trees such as pine trees, firs, cypresses, junipers, cedars, and redwoods. Conifers reproduce using their cones. Some cones are male and some are female.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conifers are seed plants, and like most other seed plant groups they have wood, megaphyllous leaves, and of course seeds. These seeds are typically produced in woody cones, though the cones of some conifers are reduced to such a degree that they are no longer recognizable as such.
