Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Examples of the angiosperms are monocots such as lilies, orchids, agaves, and grasses. Some others are the dicots like roses, peas, sunflowers, oaks, and maples. Gymnosperm examples are including the non-flowering evergreen trees such as pine, spruce, and fir.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperm diversity is divided into two main groups, monocot and dicots, based primarily on the number of cotyledons they possess.

Detailed explanation-3: -The key difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms is how their seeds are developed.

Gymnosperm seeds are usually formed in unisexual cones, known as strobili, and the plants lack fruits and flowers.
