Question

Explain Why angiosperm wood is considered to be evolutionary more advanced than the gymnosperms wood?

Answer 1

Angiosperms are flowering plants that have their seeds enclosed within the fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, do not bear flower and fruits and the seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves or scales.

Flowering plants are able to survive in a greater variety of habitats than gymnosperms. Flowering plants mature more quickly than gymnosperms, and produce greater numbers of seeds. The woody tissues of angiosperms are also more complex and specialized.
