What is a conifosperm?

Answer 1

Conifosperms, also known as gymnosperms, are a group of seed-producing plants that typically bear cones and have needle-like or scale-like leaves. They include families such as pines, firs, and spruces, which are primarily found in temperate and boreal regions. Conifosperms reproduce using exposed seeds, often contained within cones, rather than enclosed in fruits like angiosperms (flowering plants). They play a crucial role in forest ecosystems and are important for timber and paper production.
