Which of the following is not a gymnosperm? a) morman tea b) pine c) maple d) ginko

Did you know that while gymnosperms are often associated with trees like pine and ginkgo, not all plants fit that mold? Maple (c) is a perfect example—it belongs to the broadleaf angiosperms family! These flowering plants produce seeds encased in a fruit, unlike gymnosperms that keep their seeds exposed, like little treasures waiting to be discovered. Now, speaking of ginkgo, it's one of the most fascinating trees out there! Despite being classified as a gymnosperm, it’s the last of its kind (Ginkgophyta) and has been around for about 270 million years. Talk about an ancient tree! Its unique fan-shaped leaves and resilience to pollution make it a popular choice in urban landscaping.
