Roots?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Actually, it uses roots to obtain water and nutrients. Any other ideas?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Leaves?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pine trees reproduce by producing seeds. Unlike deciduous trees, which produce seeds that are surrounded by fruit, pine seeds are located on scales of structures called cones (pine cones). Pine trees possess both male and female reproductive structures, or cones. Both male and female cones are on the same tree. Typically, the male cones that produce pollen are located on the lower branches of the tree. This is to prevent the pollen from falling on the female cones of the same tree and, thus, promotes fertilization with other pine trees, which enhances genetic variation among trees.

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Nope A pine tree uses leaves to produce food

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
