Detailed explanation-1: -Furthermore, Oak trees have seeds that lie inside their acorns. Here seeds are present inside and are not naked. Thus Oak trees will be classified under Angiosperms. Pine trees, on the other hand, have naked seeds, with single needle-like leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evergreen trees that produce cones are called conifers. There are more than 600 species of conifers-which include pines, firs and spruce-each with its own type and size of cones. Species survive by reproducing. Conifers reproduce as their seeds spread, usually by wind.
Detailed explanation-3: -How can you tell the difference between oak and pine? Oak generally has a dark, reddish colour whilst pine wood is much lighter and varies in colour from creamy white to yellow, Oak is also much heavier.
