Explanation

'Gymno' means naked and 'sperm' means seed. The plants of this group (1) have well-differentiated plant bodies (2) have vascular tissues and (3) produce seeds. Although they produce seeds, but the produced seeds are naked. The seeds are not enclosed in ovaries as in flowering plants. They grow on the surface of modified leaf in a cone.
