@RickiTarr female pinecones are the equivalent of a flower where each scale is like an open ovary. If pollen from a male cone succesfully ferilises it, at the base of the scale you'll find seeds. Nice experiment slicing it!
@RickiTarr inside pine cones is where the baby pine seeds happen. You are looking at what would have been that pine tree's progeny. Protected by that woody cone until released by age, time, or fire.
