Explanation of Solution

The difference between the angiosperm and gymnosperm are given below:

    Angiosperm
    Gymnosperm
    The angiosperms are seed-producing flowering plants.

    They bear seed enclosed in an ovary (which form the fruit).

    The leaves are generally flat.

    They have flowered for reproduction.

    They depend on animals for reproduction.

    They are seasonal plants.

    The gymnosperms are the seed producing nonflowering plants.

    They do not bear any fruit and produce naked seed.

    The leaves are scale-like or needle-like.

    They have cones for reproduction purposes (male and female cones).

    They depend on wind for the dispersal of reproductive structures.

    They are evergreen plants.

Conclusion

The main difference between the angiosperm and the gymnosperm is that the gymnosperms have naked seed and no flower, but the angiosperms have covered seed and flowering plant.
