They play an important role, and are part of the process.the role of a cone in the reproduction of gymnosperms is to produce egg cells and sperm cells
To get to the egg the sperm has to first go through sexual intercourse and then the sperm travels in a liquid till it reaches the fallopian tube where the egg is to get into the egg the sperm uses its tail. (only a brief way)
The size of egg is larger than sperm because the the sperm enters inside the egg and egg has to accommodate the sperm. And egg contains fats and nutrients in order to feed zygote in case of pregnancy.
The joining of an egg and a spermatazoan (sperm) is called fertilization.
