No, gymnosperms do not produce flowers. They reproduce using cones or strobili, which are structures that bear the reproductive organs. Male cones produce pollen, while female cones contain ovules that develop into seeds after fertilization. The absence of flowers is a primary characteristic that differentiates gymnosperms from angiosperms.
