Question

If pinecones are placed in water, they close up. But they open up in warm and dry conditions. How do pinecones benefit from this characteristic?

Answer 1

Seeds develop within pinecones, which are organs of coniferous trees. Pinecones open only when environmental conditions are right and seeds are mature. Warm, dry conditions allow seeds to spread long distances on the wind and help in germination. In contrast, cold, damp weather can make seeds wet and unable to spread far from a tree.

Answer 2

They benefit from this characteristic because as they go into water they protect their seeds and then why it’s warm they open up so they can reproduce and make new plants
