Portador is Spanish for “carrier,” which in essence what a pine cone is. It is a storage and distribution device for the host tree, scattering seeds to plant new trees in the forest. In its infancy, a pine cone is a small “bloom” on the tree like what occurs on flowering plants in general. As the bloom matures, seeds form inside it, covered by “scales,” which are trap doors that open to release the seeds when the cone is mature and dried out.
