The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones.

You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much

smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones.

Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains.

Female pine cones contain the egg.

The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by

the wind.

Male pine cones, also known as pollen cones, produce pollen containing male gametes. Female pine cones, also known as seed cones, contain ovules that, when fertilized by pollen, develop into seeds. Male cones are typically smaller and produce pollen, while female cones are larger and produce seeds.
