Vedclass · Answer

(C) In gymnosperms,the term 'gymnos' means naked and 'sperma' means seed. These plants are characterized by having ovules that are not enclosed by any ovary wall. In angiosperms,the ovules are enclosed within the ovary,which develops into the fruit after fertilization. Since gymnosperms lack a true ovary (and thus lack a fruit),the ovules remain exposed or 'naked' both before and after fertilization.
