Gymnosperms do not produce fruits or flowers, so their seeds are "naked". Angiosperms on the other hand, have mature ovules which develop within the fruit after fertilization.

Marchantia Definition, Structure, Reproduction, Classification

Marchantia's thallus shows two layers of differentiation: one is the upper photosynthetic layer, which has pores and well-defined epidermis. The lower storage layer is less defined. Gemmae are tiny tissue packets that can be used for asexual reproduction. The thallus is made up of small cups-like structures known as gemma cups. The combination of the barrel-shaped pores and circular shape of gemma cups is indicative of the genus. The ventral surface of thallus contains multicellular purple-colored scales with single-cell thickness and unicellular Rhizoids.
