Gymnosperm Leaf

This is a picture of a pine tree and its leaves. A pine tree is classified as a gymnosperm type plant, which means that it has exposed seeds, which in this case are the cones that can be seen in the picture. These seeds grown on the modified gymnosperm leaves that can be seen in the picture. These leaves' primary function is to provide a surface for development of these seeds (cones) as well as protect them.
