Angiosperms are called so because they produce seeds enclosed within a protective structure known as a fruit. The term "angio" means "container" or "vessel" in Greek, referring to the fruit that contains the seeds. This characteristic distinguishes angiosperms from gymnosperms, which have naked seeds.
