what are gymnosperms?

Answer Posted / anithaisro

Gymnosperm (Gymnospermae) is a group of spermatophyte seed-
bearing plants with ovules on scales, which are usually
arranged in cone-like structures.

The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek word
gymnospermos meaning "naked seeds" and referring to the
unenclosed condition of the seeds, since, when they are
produced, they are found naked on the scales of a cone or
similar structure.
