Cone

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep track of all the little things you need to remember throughout a busy day, like your grocery list, appointments, and important tasks. This is similar to how cones function in gymnosperms—they are nature's way of organizing and protecting the seeds until they are ready to be released. Just as you might use a planner or app to gather, protect, and eventually act on your reminders, cones serve as protective structures that hold, nurture, and eventually release seeds to ensure the continuation of their species.
