One is a seedless vascular plant that reproduces with spermataphores that need a somewhat water milieu to swim to the site of conception. Ferns.
Gymnosperms are seed bearing vascular plants that have a two sex reproductive system somewhat similar, but not as complex as angiosperms.
the leaf of a fern is much bigger than the leaf of a gymnodperm.
Stem of gymnosperm is aerial.Stem of pteridophytes are mostly underground.Tree Ferns have long aerial stems but these are Pteridophytes. The real difference is that gymnosperms bear seeds pteridophytes are without seeds.
Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.
Actually Pteridophytes are ferns and the like. They have spores. I think Gymnosperms is the term you're thinking of. It comes from the Greek for naked seed.

Ferns, mosses and gymnosperms
Because ferns (Pteridophyta) and gymnosperms are part of the larger category of vascular plants (Tracheophyta) and share common features that mosses lack. Perhaps also because of the spurious notion that "seed ferns" (Pteridospermatophyta), the ancestors of the gymnosperms, evolved from ferns. In fact, "seed ferns" are a large, heterogeneous category of plants which are generally believed to be only distantly related to true ferns.

Seed ferns in Gymnosperms were the oldest seed plants but none of them is in living condition today.
cycopsida is palm like structure
In angiosperm seeds are enclosed inside the ovary whereas in gymnosperm seeds are naked (i. e. born on megasporophyll) Gymnosperms have archegonium for egg whereas in angiosperms it is replaced by an embryo sac.
