What are Gymnosperms? 😮

🍃 Gymnosperms are seed bearing vascular plants.
🍃 Gymnosperms means "naked seed". (From the Greek: Gymnos = naked ; Sperm = seed)
🍃 Seeds are formed naked.
🍃 The seeds of the gynosperms lack a protective endosure. (Unlike flowering plants which have flowers and fruit.)
🍃 Seeds are produced on the scales of cones.
🍃 More advanced than ferns because they do not have spores, they have seeds.
