A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.

So, the pine tree is mostly sporophyte, but has very small gametophyte parts that create gametes. They're very small, but they're there.

Does a pine tree reproduce with leaves roots or stems?

Pine trees have seeds in the cone. Ferns are the only plants that I can think of off hand that have spores (I'm sure that there are more out there). Otherwise, if it is a natural plant, one that was not created from grafting/hybridization and so on, it has seeds.

How do you make a pine cone?

Pine cones are formed on pine trees when the female cones are fertilized by pollen from male cones. Each scale on the cone contains seeds, which are released when the cone dries out and opens up. The process is part of the reproductive cycle of the pine tree.
