The stem of gymnosperms plays a vital role in supporting the plant, facilitating the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthetic products between the roots and leaves. Gymnosperms typically have thick, woody stems that provide structural strength, enabling them to grow tall and withstand environmental stresses. Additionally, the stem's vascular tissues, such as xylem and phloem, are crucial for efficient nutrient distribution, contributing to the overall growth and reproductive success of these plants.
Gymnosperms do not form flowers and have naked seeds, while angiosperms have flowers and seeds enclosed within a fruit. Gymnosperms include conifers, cycads, and ginkgo, while angiosperms are further divided into monocots and dicots. Gymnosperms are typically wind-pollinated, while angiosperms are often animal-pollinated.
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.

All gymnosperms have naked seeds, meaning their seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. They also typically have needle-like leaves, which help reduce water loss in dry environments. Additionally, gymnosperms do not produce flowers.

Gymnosperms
No. Conifers are Gymnosperms.
Yes Gymnosperms have supporting stems.
1. Both can reproduce by seeds 2. Both have dominant sporophytic plant body and gametophyte is dependent on sporophyte. 3. Both have root, stem and leaves
Root pressure is absent in gymnosperms because they lack vessels in their xylem tissue. Vessels in angiosperms help create positive pressure when water is actively transported, resulting in root pressure. Gymnosperms rely on a combination of capillary action and cohesion-tension to move water up the plant.
Gymnosperms have cones and angiosperms have flowers/fruits
The scientific name for gymnosperms is Gymnospermae.
Gymnosperms have cones and angiosperms have flowers/fruits
