Coniferous
Coniferous explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to keep your home warm during the winter without having to constantly turn on the heater. This is similar to how coniferous trees, like pine or redwood trees, retain their needles (leaves) all year to conserve energy and resources. Just as a well-insulated home retains heat, coniferous trees hold onto their needles, which are like tiny solar panels, allowing them to continue photosynthesis throughout the year without the need to regrow leaves each season.
Practice Version
Coniferous: A tree with seed-bearing cones that keeps its needles leaves all year, like a pine or redwood tree. Coniferous trees are plants that produce cones and have needle-like leaves that stay green year-round.
