Volcanoes can form cones. Pine trees have their seeds in cones.
Conifers
Conifers produce seeds, they are wind pollinated and the seed develops in the cones.
The seeds of flowering are enclosed in an ovary that develops into a fruit, plants with cones, by contrast are members of a group called gymnosperms from the Greek for "naked seeds".
The male gametophyte of pine develops in cluster at the tip of lower branches of the cones tree. The location of staminate cones ensures the success of pollination by cross fertilization.
No, angiosperm seeds are not protected by cones. Angiosperms produce seeds enclosed within a fruit, which develops from the ovary of a flower. Conifers, which are gymnosperms, produce seeds that are typically protected by cones.
In Pinus, male cones are typically located closer to the top of the tree while female cones are situated lower down. This spatial separation helps to prevent self-pollination and ensures that pollen carried by the wind is more likely to reach female cones of a different tree, increasing genetic diversity and the success of pollination.

Seed cones (female cones) are much larger than pollen cones (male cones).
Female cones, also known as ovulate cones, develop seeds in gymnosperms, such as conifers. They contain ovules that, after fertilization, mature into seeds. The scales of the female cone protect these developing seeds until they are ready to be dispersed. This reproductive structure plays a crucial role in the life cycle of seed-producing plants.
Pollen cones are the male pollen-producing cones, and seed cones are the female seed-producing cones in conifer trees.Seed cones are gymnosperms, which means the seeds are not enclosed within an ovary (in Greek, gymno is naked).
Yes, in case of Pinus pollen producing cones (male cones) and seed producing cones (female cones) are present on the same plant. Such plants are called monoecious.
