Comparing Acorns and Pinecones

The difference between an acorn and a pine cone is that they are from difference trees.
An acorn is from a deciduous oak tree and a pine cone comes from a coniferous pine tree.
An acorn and a pine cone both have seeds.
An acorn depends on biological seed dispersal agents to move the acorn beyond the mother tree and into areas it can germinate in. 
A pine cone seed gets carried away by the wind when the a pine cone ripens because of their parachute mechanism of the wings on the seeds.
