Hello,

Following are the important characteristics of gymnosperms:


  • They do not produce flowers.
  • Seeds are not formed inside a fruit. They are naked.
  • They are found in colder regions where snowfall occurs.
  • They develop needle-like leaves.
  • They are perennial or woody, forming trees or bushes.
  • They are not differentiated into ovary, style and stigma.
  • Since stigma is absent, they are pollinated directly by the wind.
  • The male gametophytes produce two gametes, but only one of them is functional.
  • They form cones with reproductive structures.
  • The seeds contain endosperm that stores food for the growth and development of the plant.
  • These plants have vascular tissues which help in the transportation of nutrients and water.
  • Xylem does not have vessels, and the phloem has no companion cells and sieve tubes.

hope it helped.

  • They are found in colder regions where snowfall occurs.
  • They develop needle-like leaves.
  • They are perennial or woody, forming trees or bushes.
  • They are not differentiated into ovary, style and stigma.
