Seeds!
Gymnosperms were the first plants to reproduce using seeds. Unlike their predecessors, the seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms developed seeds that provided protection and nourishment to the developing embryo. This adaptation allowed gymnosperms to thrive in various environments and contributed to their evolutionary success. Additionally, gymnosperms reproduce via cones, which contain the reproductive structures for both male and female gametes.
Gymnosperms were the first plants to reproduce using seeds, a significant evolutionary advancement over spore-based reproduction seen in earlier plants. They typically have exposed seeds on cones, allowing for more efficient reproduction and dispersal. This adaptation enabled gymnosperms to thrive in various environments and contributed to their success during the Mesozoic era. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
Most of the vascular plants have flowers, thus implying that they reproduce by seeds-gymnosperms. By contrast, non-vascular plants don't usually have flowers and thus reproduce by other means; for example, fungi reproduce by spores.
Stem of gymnosperm is aerial.Stem of pteridophytes are mostly underground.Tree Ferns have long aerial stems but these are Pteridophytes. The real difference is that gymnosperms bear seeds pteridophytes are without seeds.
Yes, gymnosperms do produce spores. They reproduce using male and female spores, which develop into pollen grains and ovules, respectively. The male spores are typically produced in cones, while the female spores develop within ovulate cones. This spore-based reproduction is a key characteristic of gymnosperms, distinguishing them from flowering plants (angiosperms).

Many non-flowering plants (such as ferns) reproduce by means of spores; the other major non-flowering plant group are gymnosperms, which produce seed, but in cones not flowers
seedless plants
It doesn't. Aflowering plant produces flowers and seeds that fall of and produce more plants.
Mosses and ferns are plants which do not reproduce using seeds.
Lower plants like bryophytes and pteridophytes reproduce using spores.
Gymnosperms reproduce using cones which have seeds that are not enclosed in a protective fruit. Examples of gymnosperms include pine trees, spruces, and cycads. The seeds are typically exposed on the surface of scales within the cone.
