How do gymnosperms and Angiosperms differ from each other?
Gymnosperm | Angiosperm |
---|---|
Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants. | Angiosperms are flowering plants. |
The plants of seeds of this group bear naked seeds and are usually perennial, evergreen and woody. | The seeds develop inside an organ which is modified to become a fruit. |
Example: Pinus, Cedar, fir, Cycas, etc. | Example: Coconut, palm, mango, etc. |
