Best Answer

The answer is angiosperm. Angiosperm plants produce seeds in a protective covering called fruit. Gymnosperm plants produce cones with exposed seeds.

Gymno means "naked" and is the root for both gymnosperm and for gymnasium. In ancient days, gymnastics were done without clothing. This was back when everyone wore robes or togas and there were no athletic uniforms. So sports were associated with nudity. Thus knowing the word root will help you to not confuse these types of plants.
