Question:

What are angiosperms and gymnosperms?

Answer:

Angiosperms are flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed inside fruits (like mango or apple). Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants where seeds are “naked,” usually found on cones (like pine or cycas). Both belong to seed plants but differ in how they reproduce and protect their seeds.

Key Points You Need to Know

  • Angiosperms: Flowering plants, seeds inside fruits.
  • Gymnosperms: Non-flowering plants, seeds naked on cones.
  • Examples: Mango (angiosperm), Pine (gymnosperm).
  • Importance: Both groups provide food, wood, medicine, and ecosystem balance.
