Explanation:
• Gymnosperms literally translates to "naked seeds" (from Greek gymnos = naked, sperma = seed).
• They are a group of seed-producing plants where the seeds develop on the surface of scales or leaves, often forming cones, rather than being enclosed in an ovary (fruit).
Information Booster:
• Familiar examples of gymnosperms include pine, spruce, fir, and cycads.
• They do not produce flowers; angiosperms are the flowering plants.
Additional Knowledge:
• Option A: Incorrect. Angiosperms produce fruits containing seeds. Parthenocarpic plants produce seedless fruits.
• Option B: Incorrect. Gymnosperms are predominantly terrestrial plants.
