Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gymnosperms produce pollen, which allows them to reproduce without the need for water. Ferns require water for fertilization, as they release their sperm into the environment to swim to the egg. This gives gymnosperms an advantage in terms of reproductive success and allows them to colonize drier environments.
