Mesozoic Era
During the Mesozoic era, orchids were not common; they evolved much later, around 80 million years ago. In contrast, ginkgoes, cycads, and conifers were prevalent during this time. Ginkgoes and cycads have ancient lineages, while conifers dominated many ecosystems, adapting well to the climate conditions of the era.
Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.
The four groups of gymnosperms are cycads, ginkgo, gnetophytes, and conifers. Conifers, which include pine, spruce, and fir trees, are the largest and most economically important group of gymnosperms due to their widespread distribution and economic significance in industries such as timber, paper production, and horticulture.
Gymnosperms that produce exposed seeds include conifers (such as pine, spruce, fir), cycads, ginkgo, and gnetophytes. These plants bear their seeds in open structures like cones or fleshy coverings, unlike angiosperms that have enclosed seeds within fruits.
The Mesozoic era, particularly the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, is considered the golden age of gymnosperms. This was a time when gymnosperms were dominant in many terrestrial ecosystems and varied in size and form, with species like conifers, cycads, and ginkgo trees flourishing.

Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.
Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds, in the form of seed pods or cones. Some types are ginkgo, pine, and cypress trees.
There were lycophytes, cycads, ginkgoes, and glossopterids. Conifers were the dominant trees in the northern hemisphere, and Glossopteris was the main tree like plant in the southern hemisphere.

During the Paleozoic Era, dominant plant forms included ferns, horsetails, and early seed plants like conifers and cycads. These plants were the main producers in terrestrial ecosystems, contributing to the diversity and abundance of life during this time period.
The four groups of terrestrial plants are bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), pteridophytes (ferns and their relatives), gymnosperms (conifers and cycads), and angiosperms (flowering plants). These groups vary in their reproductive structures and evolutionary history.
