Pinecones and Acorns

The main difference between pinecones and acorns is that pinecones have seeds and acorns do not. Pinecones come from coniferous pine trees (coniferous meaning cone bearing) and acorns come from deciduous oak trees. Acorns are dispersed because of all the animals that eat them. Either they are eaten and later expelled from the animal when it goes to toilet, after which they grow, or when squirrels bury their acorns they often forget one or two, so then the acorns grow there. Pinecones disperse themselves by dispersing their seeds (pollen) using the wind. One thing similar between pinecones and acorns is that they both grow on trees.
