Gymnosperms are often referred to as softwoods because they typically have a simpler structure compared to hardwoods (angiosperms), characterized by a lack of vessel elements in their xylem. Their wood primarily consists of tracheids, which are long, narrow cells that facilitate water transport and support. This structure generally results in softer and less dense wood, making gymnosperms like pine and spruce suitable for applications like construction and paper production. However, it's important to note that "softwood" does not necessarily imply that all gymnosperms are soft; some can be quite dense.

The spore bearing structures in club mosses and horsetails and the cones of gymnosperms called strobili.
They are called gymnosperms. Strawberries are a good example.
No, rosemary plants are not gymnosperms. They belong to the flowering plant group called angiosperms, which produce seeds enclosed in fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, have naked seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit.
