Yes, ginkgos are gymnosperms. The sole surviving species, Ginkgo biloba, produces naked seeds and does not form flowers or fruits, aligning with the characteristics of gymnosperms. Ginkgo biloba is unique among gymnosperms for its fan-shaped leaves and is considered a living fossil, having remained relatively unchanged for millions of years.
