24) gymnosperm cone: a gymnosperm cone is the seed of a gymnosperm (any vascular plants that reproduces by an exposed seed, opposite of an angiosperm.) A gymnosperm cone houses the seed necessary for reproduction. A gymnosperm cone's ovules are not enclosed in an ovary, and therefore out in the open. This pine cone is a gymnosperm because it houses the seed necessary for reproduction, the cone's ovules are not enclosed by ovaries, and it's the seed if a gymnosperm.
