Gymnosperms do not bear true fruit because they have naked seeds that are not enclosed within a fruit structure. Unlike angiosperms, which develop flowers and fruits as reproductive structures, gymnosperms produce seeds on the surfaces of cones or other structures. The term "gymnosperm" itself means "naked seed," reflecting this characteristic. Consequently, their reproductive strategy relies on the exposure of seeds rather than the protective and dispersive benefits provided by fruit.

What strucures do angiosperms have and gymnosperm lack?

Angiosperms have flowers and fruit, which are structures that gymnosperms lack. Flowers are reproductive structures that attract pollinators, while fruit develops from the ovary after fertilization to protect and disperse seeds.
