They can produce either way. The female conifers reproduce seeds which are held in the cone. The male’s cones produce pollen which is transferred by the wind. When the female cells are ready to unite with the male cells in the pollen, the female cone becomes sticky so it can stick to the pollen. Many conifer seeds have wings so to carry them away from the adult tree in the wind. Hope this helped :)

What role do male pine cones play in reproduction?

Male pine cones produce pollen, which is essential for the reproduction of pine trees. During the spring, these cones release pollen grains that are carried by the wind to female cones, where fertilization occurs. The pollen fertilizes the ovules in the female cones, leading to the development of seeds. Thus, male pine cones are crucial for the sexual reproduction process in conifers.
