Mature seed are not enclosed in a fruit as are those of flowering plants. Gymnosperms are best known for their characteristic cones‚ called strobili. These strobili display sporangia and their subsequently developing ovules and pollens. Gymnosperms do not require water for sperm to swim to reach the egg as do seedless
