Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Deciduous and Coniferous trees are both Woody plants and can both be found in the forest, but there are significant differences between them including-

1) The leaves of deciduous trees change color and are shed seasonally while the needles of Coniferous trees are not lost seasonally, neither do they turn pale

2) Deciduous trees are flowering plants and so they bear their seeds in fruits while Coniferous trees are gymnosperms and so bear their seeds in cones.

3) Coniferous trees possess needles in lieu of leaves while deciduous trees possess broad leaves

4) Examples of Coniferous trees are firs, junipers, redwoods, spruces, and pines etc. while examples of deciduous trees are oak, maple, and elm etc.
