Correct Answer: Gymnosperms are seedless flowering plants.


Solution : The correct answer is Gymnosperms are seedless flowering plants.

  • They consist of woody shrubs, trees, or lianas, with very few epiphytes and no true aquatics. The tallest, largest, and longest-living individual plants on Earth are within the gymnosperm family, which is of some interest. They are widespread over most of the planet, but in many polar and frigid areas, they dominate the vegetation.
  • They reproduce slowly, taking up to a year for pollination and fertilisation and up to three years for seed to mature.
  • Instead of flowers, gymnosperms have bare seeds called "gymnosperm" and cones, or strobilus.
