Write the characteristics of Gymnosperms.
✓
Answer
- Gymnosperms are mostly evergreen, perennial and woody.
- Their stems are without branches.
- The leaves form a crown.
- These plants bear male and female flowers on different sporophylls of the same plant.
- Seeds of these plants do not have natural coverings, i.e. these plants do not form fruits and are therefore called gymnosperms (gmnos: naked, sperms: seeds)
- Examples: Cycas, Picea (christmas tree), Thuja, Pinus (deodar), etc.
