The gymnosperms produce megaspores and microspores. A microspore is the male spore and megaspore is the large female spore.
The microspore undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular male gametophyte. These male gametophytes are the pollen grains that are contained inside short pollen cones.
The megaspore is the large female spore that undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular female gametophyte that is housed in a large female cone.
The spore bearing structures in club mosses and horsetails and the cones of gymnosperms called strobili.
"Gymnosperms are a group of spore-bearing, non-flowering plants; common examples of Gymnosperms are the Pine, Cypresses and Spruce."
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).
The spores of gymnosperms are reproductive structures produced in the sporophyte generation. These spores are released from specialized structures called sporangia and develop into male and female gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm for fertilization. Gymnosperms include plants like conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
Non-flowering plants that do not reproduce by spores include ferns and gymnosperms like conifers. These plants reproduce through seeds rather than spores, with ferns producing seeds in structures called sori and gymnosperms producing seeds in cones.

The evolution of seeds in gymnosperms allowed them to out-compete spore-bearing plants by providing a protective and nutrient-rich environment for the embryo to develop. Seeds also have adaptations for dispersal, enabling gymnosperms to colonize diverse habitats and spread more efficiently than spores.
Seed ferns in Gymnosperms were the oldest seed plants but none of them is in living condition today.
