Answer:

They evolved after the seedless vascular plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seedless vascular plants have no seeds and they reproduce through spores. E.g Ferns.

Gymnosperms are vascular plants with seeds that are naked. E.g.conifers, cycads

Due to evolutionary changes , the gymnosperms evolved from seedless vascular plants. The angiosperms was also believed to evolve from the gymnosperms. This is how some form

of complexity was achieved.
