The two types of trees categorized as gymnosperms and angiosperms represent distinct groups in the plant kingdom. Gymnosperms, which include conifers like pine and spruce trees, produce seeds that are not enclosed in an ovary or fruit; rather, they are often found in cones. In contrast, angiosperms, or flowering plants, produce seeds enclosed in fruits or flowers, contributing to their vast diversity—from shrubs to massive hardwoods. Angiosperms are significant because they dominate many ecosystems and have evolved to attract pollinators through their flowers, enabling more efficient reproduction. Together, these two groups play crucial roles in maintaining ecological balance.
