Where Do Angiosperms Produce Seeds?

The seeds of angiosperms develop in the ovaries of flowers and are surrounded by a protective fruit. Gymnosperm seeds are usually formed in unisexual cones, known as strobili, and the plants lack fruits and flowers.

How do angiosperms produce seeds?

The ovules in angiosperms are encased in an ovary, not exposed on the sporophylls of a strobilus, as they are in gymnosperms. Angiosperm means "covered seed". The ovules develop into seeds, and the wall of the ovary forms a fruit to contain those seeds. Fruits attract animals to disperse the seeds.

Where do angiosperms grow?

Angiosperms are the plants with the most complex reproductive system: They grow their seeds inside an ovary (Greek angeion=pot, vessel) that itself is embedded in a flower.
