What is the significance of tree cones?

Cones are very important in the life of gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are those that are propagated by seeds. But the seeds are not covered with juicy fruit. Cones are found mainly in conifers. For example – in pines or spruces. It is in the cones that the seeds ripen. When they are ready to spread, the buds open. The seeds fly out of the cones with the help of the wind and scatter long distances from the tree. This is the meaning of buds for many plants in our ecosystem.
