Pine is a gymnosperm, which is the only group of plants that produce naked seeds. Pine also has microsporangia and megasporangia that produce male and female gametes respectively, pollen cones for pollination, and archegonia for the production of the egg cells. Ferns and mosses are both non-vascular plants and do not have any of the structures mentioned, while dicots and monocots are flowering plants and reproduce through flowers, not cones.
