Best Answer

The cone of a gymnosperm is the equivalent of the ovary of angiosperms. The seeds in the cone are naked, and receive pollen by wind action from the male equivalent of the stamen. In season, you'll often find dustings of sulphur-yellow pine pollen on the surface of water puddles.

The gymno part comes from the Greek and means naked, hence similar words such as gymnast.

Cones

Megasporophyll and microsprophyll represent the male and female reproductive structure in the gymnosperms. Generally these are organized to form cones. In some cases like female plants of Cycas, Ginkgo and Taxus etc. cones are absent.
