Gymnosperms are a group of plants that include conifers, cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes. Conifers are specifically defined as gymnosperms that bear cones, which are distinguished by leaves that resemble needles or scales.

Hudson Ansley

Conifers are a type of gymnosperm. Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that include conifers as well as other types like cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes. Conifers are characterized by their cone-bearing reproductive structures and typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves. So, while all conifers are gymnosperms, not all gymnosperms are conifers.
