How do gymnosperms and angiosperms differ? How do they compare? What are the benefits of each? I will report for IDK or other not cool stuff ;(

Angiosperms are flowering plants that have their seeds enclosed within the fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, do not bear flower and fruits and the seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves or scales.

Angiosperms are flowering plants that have their seeds enclosed within the fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, do not bear flower and fruits and the seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves or scales. Let us have a look at the important differences between angiosperms and gymnosperms.

Flowering plants

Haploid

Leaves are flat

Leaves are needle-like with scales

Cotyledons are absent

Hardwood plants

Mostly rely on animals for pollination

Mostly rely on wind for pollination

Stigma and style are present

Stigma and style are absent

Distinct archegonia are present

Archegonia is absent

Double fertilization takes place

The fertilization is only generative type

These are a source of hardwood, pharmaceuticals, timber. fibre products, etc.

These are a source of softwood such as pine, fur, paper and plywood
