pine cones
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
Roots, trunk, branches, twigs , needles and cones.
They close when it is humid and opens when it is dry :)
Pine cones mature, opening up and releasing the seeds. In some species of Pine, heat (such as from a fire) is needed to open the cones.
Pine cones are where the seeds for new pine trees develop.
