What role can fire play in the life cycle of some gymnosperms? It can help cones open and release seeds. It can produce the sticky liquid to help capture pollen. It can allow seeds to develop faster into mature plants. It can prevent plants from releasing too much pollen.

Gymnosperms like Conifers and Pines grow in high altitudes under extreme weather conditions.
Higher altitudes have severely cold climate accompanied with water mostly remaining in the ice form.
This is the reason why the cones produced by these plants are too hard to be destroyed by the extremely harsh conditions.
But during germination these cones need to open and release the seeds.
The best natural way for this is by the means of fire which burn the outer harder layer of the cone and release the seeds.
