Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Non-flowering plants mostly fall into one of these groups: ferns, liverworts, mosses, hornworts, whisk ferns, club mosses, horsetails, conifers, cycads, and ginkgo. We can group those together based on how they grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pine trees are conifers and produce pinecones instead of flowers/fruits. The seeds are not enclosed and are naked. They are located on the surface of the scales of the pinecones. By definition, pine trees are not angiosperms and are considered gymnosperms.
