Gymnosperms
There are so many plants and trees that surround us. The refreshingly green trees in my garden and the august trees that stand tall at the side of the road are a source of great pleasure and a delight to watch. Plants and trees not only provide us with food, fuels and many other important things but are also a source of fresh air and joy that surrounds us everyday. There exist so many different types of plants and trees, which have minute differences amongst their color, structure, as well as numerous physiological differences.

Often we miss these differences and similarities in plants since many of these differences are indiscernible to the human eye. There exists a special branch of science that involves study of plants in detail. Botany is the branch of science that deals with the study and classification of plants. According to the principles of Botany, higher plants are divided into two main groups known as angiosperms and gymnosperms. Angiosperms are flowering whereas the gymnosperms are non-flowering plants.
