Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gymnosperms are haploid, have spiky, needle-like leaves and are softwood. Gymnosperms are “simpler” anatomically because they do not bear flowers or fruit, and although of different species, are usually only tall evergreens with brown cones.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seed plants are divided into those that produce seeds in cones and those that produce seeds in the ovaries of flowers. Seed plants are called gymnosperms. Seed plants called angiosperms produce seeds in the ovaries of flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gymnosperms (Gymnospermae) is the name for a group of seed-bearing (and thus vascular) plants whose seeds are formed naked on the scales of a cone-like structure, unlike the angiosperms) whose seeds are formed in an ovule that is enclosed and that develops into a fruit.
