Detailed explanation-1: -The gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that do not produce flowers. These include conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetales. Though they are seed bearing their seeds are not enclosed in ovary they make up for about 700 species of woody plants with most of them being trees and some shrubs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gymnosperms produce seeds (Figure 8.1. 1) and, together with flowering plants, constitute the seed plants. Although gymnosperms do not produce flowers and fruits, they still have embryos enclosed in a protective barrier or seed coat.
Detailed explanation-3: -In gymnosperms (plants with “naked seeds”-such as conifers, cycads, and ginkgo), the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary but lie exposed on leaflike structures, the megasporophylls.
