Detailed explanation-1: -Conifers are cone-bearing seed plants which develop their seeds inside cones. e.g. Pine, Junipers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gymnosperms. These seed plants do not have flowers or fruit-their seeds are held in cones.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Conifers have two types of cones: pollen cones and seed cones. Depending on the tree species, you may find both types of cones on the same tree or on different trees. When seed and pollen cones are found on different trees, the species is called dioecious.
