CONIFERS IN THE FORESTS
Pine, cedar, redwood, and spruce. Sounds like we're at a hardware store buying lumber. Not so. We are listing off a bunch of trees that are called conifers.
Conifers
These gymnosperms get their name from their cones:
male cones in which the in which microspores develop;
female cones in which megaspores develop. [View] ...
conifers Group of gymnosperms that reproduce by cones and have needle-like leaves (in general); includes the pines.
Conifers: Cone bearing trees. A Class of the Gymnospermae which includes needle-leaved trees such as pines and cypresses. Their flowers are in cones, and male and flower cones are separate.
conifers (Coniferae): there are some six hundred species of conifers. All species have secondary xylem, which is relatively uniform in structure throughout this group.

The conifers remain a major group of gymnosperms that include the pines, spruce, fir, bald cypress and Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria). The division Pinophyta contains approximately 550 species of conifers.
A: Pines are conifers, and are neither monocots nor dicots. Only flowering plants are considered to be members of these two classes. This question is similar to asking whether a chicken is a monocot or a dicot; it is neither.
A gymnosperm whose reproductive structure is the cone. Conifers include pines, firs, redwoods, and other large trees.

This biome is made up of several different kinds of evergreen trees called conifers. These giant trees are very hearty, and able to endure the cold winters, and poor soil conditions found in the coniferous forest biome.
Both groups have seeds which are dormant embryos released by the parent plant. The most common gymnosperms are the conifers or "evergreens" with "needle" leaves and seeds produced in cones.
Growth is restricted to meristems (layers/patches of dividing cells)
Non-motile; adapted to land / strong tissues, leave gas exchange system, waterproofed
Eg mosses, ferns, conifers, angiosperms (flowering plants) ...
or unisexual flowers with both male and female types developing on the same individual—a closer analogy to animal hermaphrodism. However, this latter condition constitutes monoecy in plants, and is especially common to the conifers, ...
