Detailed explanation-1: -Infact, in gymnosperms, the endosperm is a haploid tissue as it formed before fertilisation, while in angiosperms, endosperm is formed after fertilisation as a result of triple fusionn of double fertilisation, thus, it is a triploid tissue. In both conifers and grasses seeds are produced from ovules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flowering plants are a vast group of plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed in a fruit. Conifers are woody plants that produce naked seeds on a cone. They belong to the group of angiosperms. They belong to the division Pinophyta under gymnosperms.

Detailed explanation-3: -These plants, unlike modern gymnosperms, did not produce seeds. They reproduced via spores, suggesting a common ancestry with ferns. Comprising 550 species, conifers are the largest and most familiar group of gymnosperms. Conifers can range in size from tall trees, such as redwoods, to shrubs like yews and junipers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowering plants undergo double fertilization while conifers do not undergo double fertilization. Therefore, the endosperm and the plant body of the flowering plants are triploid while those in conifers are haploid. This is another difference between flowering plants and conifers.
