*advantages angiosperms have over gymnosperms

All plants alive today are gymnosperms or angiosperms.

Gymnosperms have seeds that do not have a seed coat and are attached to the scales of a
cone. Gymnosperms have a disadvantage compared to angiosperms because once the
gymnosperms fall or are released from the cones, they only have a thin shell for protection.

Angiosperms are also known as flowering plants because it is their reproductive organ that
matures into seed-containing fruits. The fruit covering the seeds gives angiosperms an
advantage over gymnosperms because they offer better protection. The fruit of angiosperms are
adapted to facilitate seed dispersal. Some seeds are tasty such as apples and other fruit that is
consumed and the seeds disperse when the fruit is eaten. Some seeds are sticky like burrs and
are dispersed in the feathers or feathers of animals. Other fruits are shaped to fly like maple
keys and scatter in the wind
