What does secondary cone does?

A secondary cone, often referred to in the context of botany and forestry, is a type of reproductive structure that develops from the secondary growth of certain conifer species. These cones typically arise from lateral branches and can produce seeds, aiding in the plant's reproduction and dispersal. They are distinct from primary cones, which develop directly from the main stem. In some contexts, "secondary cone" may also refer to structures in other fields, such as acoustics or optics, serving different functions.
