Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pine Cones 101 Since gymnosperms do not flower, they do not form a fruit as an ovary for their seed. Their cone is a rigid vessel for the developing seed which rests on the top of a scale. When the cone is mature and dries out the scales will open, dropping seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -A conifer cone or pinecone (strobilus, plural strobili in formal botanical usage) is a seed-bearing organ on gymnosperm plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pine cones are types of dry fruit that open and release seeds at maturity; only when environmental conditions favor survival of the seed do scales open, releasing seeds, at which time the mature female pine cone takes its classic form.
