Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gymnosperms are vascular plants of the subkingdom Embyophyta and include conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes. Some of the most recognizable examples of these woody shrubs and trees include pines, spruces, firs, and ginkgoes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants).

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular plants with naked seeds ("gymnosperms") are placed in five or more phyla (divisions): seed ferns (Pteridospermophyta), cycads (Cycadophyta), ginkgos (Ginkgophyta), conifers (Coniferophyta), and Gnetophyta.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms are vascular plants that create their seeds inside fruits or flowers and are often referred to simply as flowering plants. Some common examples of angiosperms include sunflowers, dogwood trees, elm trees, lilies, and maple trees.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Primary Root of Conifers is similar to what we have seen before. However, Conifer Roots have Secondary Growth. They have Secondary Vascular Tissues and Periderm. This allows them to expand over time and thus increase their ability to anchor the ever-increasing above ground biomass of the shoot system.
