HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -They are also some of the tallest plants in the world. They are able to get very tall and strong because of heavy-duty xylem that hardens and makes them sturdy. That sturdiness is why these kinds of trees make good lumber-hard and strong wood.

Detailed explanation-2: -As vascular plants, gymnosperms contain two conducting tissues, the xylem and phloem. The xylem conducts water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides structural support.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gymnosperms are vascular plants. They possess tracheids instead of xylem vessels. They have albuminous cells instead of companion cells and sieve cells in the phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -These needle-shaped leaves allow them to survive ice and snow as the narrow structure of these leaves forbid snow to accumulate on the leaf. Also, the leaves on these plants are not shed with every fall, thus allowing them to remain evergreen and perform photosynthesis.
