Definition of «pinecone»

A pinecone is a woody, cone-shaped structure that contains the seeds of a pine tree. It is typically found on coniferous trees such as spruce, fir and pine species. The scales of the pinecone are often thorny to prevent animals from eating the seeds inside. Pinecones play an important role in the reproduction of pine trees by dispersing their seeds through wind or animal distribution.
