  • Gymnosperms vs. Angiosperms: Understanding Flowering & Non-Flowering Plants
    Non-flowering plants are called gymnosperms.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Angiosperms: These are flowering plants. They produce seeds enclosed within a fruit (like an apple or a pea pod).

    * Gymnosperms: These are non-flowering plants. They produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit, but are instead exposed on the surface of cones (like pine cones).

    Some common examples of gymnosperms include:

    * Conifers: Pine, fir, spruce, cedar

    * Cycads: Palm-like plants with cones

    * Ginkgoes: A single species of ancient tree

    * Gnetophytes: A small group of plants including the Welwitschia and Ephedra
