Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seeds of pine trees are present inside the pine cone. These cones are not fruits.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of a pine cone is to keep a pine tree’s seeds safe. Pine cones close their scales to protect the seeds from cold temperatures, wind and even animals that might try to eat them. Pine cones open up and release their seeds when it is warm and it is easier for the seed to germinate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once full grown, each cone contains enough seeds to grow a forest: an average pinecone contains about 150 seeds, and cones from specially-bred trees can produce even more. After a year-and-a-half of growing on the tree, these pinecones are full grown.
