A plant that produces cones and belongs to the conifer group; a cone-bearing tree or plant.
From 'conifer' (cone-bearing) combined with Greek 'phyte' (plant). The compound translates literally to 'cone-bearing plant' using formal botanical terminology.
Coniferophytes dominated the planet for millions of years before flowering plants appeared—today they still cover vast forests and represent some of the most economically important wood sources.
