One is a seedless vascular plant that reproduces with spermataphores that need a somewhat water milieu to swim to the site of conception. Ferns.
Gymnosperms are seed bearing vascular plants that have a two sex reproductive system somewhat similar, but not as complex as angiosperms.
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.
Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.
Gymnosperms are a group of seed bearing plants including conifers, there are only between 700 and 900 species. Pteridophytes produce neither seeds nor flowers, they reproduce by spores. They are often planted as ornamentals.
Yes, gymnosperms do not depend on water for fertilization like mosses or ferns do. They reproduce through the dispersal of pollen, which does not require water as a medium for transportation.
The four main groups of plants are mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Mosses are non-vascular plants, ferns are seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms have naked seeds (like pine trees), and angiosperms have seeds enclosed in fruits (flowering plants).

Ferns, mosses and gymnosperms
Because ferns (Pteridophyta) and gymnosperms are part of the larger category of vascular plants (Tracheophyta) and share common features that mosses lack. Perhaps also because of the spurious notion that "seed ferns" (Pteridospermatophyta), the ancestors of the gymnosperms, evolved from ferns. In fact, "seed ferns" are a large, heterogeneous category of plants which are generally believed to be only distantly related to true ferns.

Ferns are not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are divided into 4 groups,cycads,ginkgoes,gnetophytes,and conifers.
Cycads are gymnosperms with seeds borne in cones, while ferns are vascular plants that reproduce via spores. Cycads have a woody trunk topped with large compound leaves, while ferns have fronds that unfurl from a central stem. Cycads are mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions, while ferns can be found in a variety of habitats worldwide.
