Botany - Plant Kingdom Question with Solution | TestHub

In Gymnosperms, leaves are either simple or compound. In some gymnosperms like Cycas, the pinnate leaves persist for a few years. Leaves of gymnosperms are well-adapted for adverse conditions like to withstand extremes of temperature, humidity, and wind, etc. In conifers, like Pinus, the needle-like leaves reduce the surface area. Their thick cuticle and sunken stomata also help to reduce water loss.
