The term gymnosperm comes from the composite word in Greek: γυμνόσπερμος (γυμνός, gymnos, 'naked' and σπέρμα, sperma, 'seed'), and literally means 'naked seeds' The name is based on the unenclosed condition of their seeds (called ovules in their unfertilized state)
- Gymnosperm | Definition, Description, Plants, Examples, Phylogeny . . .
Gymnosperm, any vascular plant that reproduces by means of an exposed seed, or ovule—unlike angiosperms, or flowering plants, whose seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries, or fruits The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally ‘naked seeds’) are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity
- Gymnosperms – Definition, Examples, Life Cycle
Gymnosperms are one of the oldest groups of seed-producing plants, predating the flowering plants known as angiosperms They are integral to many ecosystems, providing habitat, food, and resources for a variety of organisms
- Gymnosperms: Definition, Examples, and Reproduction
Gymnosperms are flowerless plants that produce cones and seeds The term gymnosperm literally means "naked seed," as gymnosperm seeds are not encased within an ovary Rather, they sit exposed on the surface of leaf-like structures called bracts
- Gymnosperm - Definition, Examples and Life Cycle - Biology Dictionary
Gymnosperms are a group of plants which produce seeds that are not contained within an ovary or fruit The seeds are open to the air and are directly fertilized by pollination
- Gymnosperms- Characteristics, Morphology, Classification, Uses
Definition: Gymnosperms are the plants that are most ancient vascular, flowerless, seed-producing, and can reproduce through an exposed seed or ovule They produce seeds without fruits which means the ovules and the seeds that develop from these ovules are not enclosed in the fruit wall
- Gymnosperms Definition - BYJUS
What is gymnosperm? Gymnosperm is a seed-producing plant that includes conifers, cycads, gnetophytes and ginkgos They do not produce flowers or fruits and have naked seeds

Gymnosperms, meaning “naked seeds,” are a diverse group of seed plants and are paraphyletic Paraphyletic groups are those in which not all members are descendants of a single common ancestor
