HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Gymnosperms are often found in temperate forest and boreal forest biomes. Common types of gymnosperms are conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gymnosperms occur on all continents except Antarctica and are found especially in the temperate latitudes. Those widely found in the Northern Hemisphere are the conifers, including junipers, firs, larches, spruces, and pines; and in the Southern Hemisphere, podocarps (Podocarpus).

Detailed explanation-3: -Gymnosperms are seed plants adapted to life on land; thus, they are autotrophic, photosynthetic organisms that tend to conserve water. They have a vascular system (used for the transportation of water and nutrients) that includes roots, xylem, and phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Of some interest, gymnosperms include the tallest, the most massive, and the longest-living individual plants on earth. They are found throughout much of the earth, but form dominant vegetation in many colder and arctic regions.
