Is pineapple a gymnosperm?


Open in App
Solution

Pineapple:

  1. Pineapple is not a gymnosperm but it is an angiosperm.
  2. Gymnosperms belong to the Plantae kingdom and the Embryophyta subkingdom.
  3. Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants known as naked seeds and do not produce fruits, unlike angiosperms. On the surface of scales or leaves, or at the terminals of stalks, these plants develop cone-like structures.
  4. Angiosperms are flower-producing plants that bear their seeds in the fruits.
  5. A pineapple is a fruit made up of numerous intertwined berries. It is also a bunch of berries that have fused, rather than a single fruit.
  6. The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is the most economically important tropical plant with edible fruit in the Bromeliaceae family and clade 'Angiosperms.'
