Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds encased in a fruit or nut. The fact that the plant discovered by the scientist produces a nut similar to an acorn suggests that it is an angiosperm rather than a gymnosperm, which does not produce fruits or nuts. Ginkophytes are a type of gymnosperm, but the information given does not suggest that this new plant is a ginkophyte specifically.
