Answer 1

Ferns and pine trees can be classified as different organisms from each other based on whether they have **seeds**.

To elaborate:

- Ferns are non-flowering plants that reproduce via spores and do not produce seeds.
- Pine trees, on the other hand, are gymnosperms that produce seeds, often found in cones.

Thus, the correct distinction between ferns and pine trees is related to their reproduction method involving seeds.
