Well, the seeds do have a hard shell, and there is an indentation around the seeds, sort of like a pocket.
Yes!
a gynosperm is a plant which donot produce flowers. A gymnosperm is a seed bearing plant that produces naked seeds, or seeds without protective covering. An example of a seed with protective covering would be an apple. The "flesh" of the apple would be the protective covering. An example of a naked seed would be a pine cone.
Seeds are the reproductive part of a plant enclosed in a protective outer covering, while nuts are a type of fruit with a hard shell that contains a single seed.
Covered seeds refer to seeds that are enclosed within a protective layer, often a fruit or other tissue, which is characteristic of flowering plants, known as angiosperms. This protective covering helps safeguard the developing seeds and aids in their dispersal. The fruit can provide nutrients and attract animals, facilitating the spread of the seeds. In contrast, plants with uncovered seeds, like gymnosperms, do not have this protective fruit structure.

Gymnosperms produce naked seeds, which are not enclosed within a fruit. These seeds are often found within cones or on scales of the plant. They do not have a protective fruit covering like angiosperm seeds do.
Gymnosperms reproduce using cones which have seeds that are not enclosed in a protective fruit. Examples of gymnosperms include pine trees, spruces, and cycads. The seeds are typically exposed on the surface of scales within the cone.
Why do seeds have outer overing
Armor.

The fleshy outer covering of a pomegranate is called the pericarp. This thick, protective skin encases the fruit and is typically reddish in color. It serves to protect the juicy seeds inside, which are the edible part of the fruit.
