Cycad

Cycad are ancient seed plants characterized by a stout, cylindrical trunk and a crown of stiff, evergreen, feather-like leaves. These slow-growing plants often resemble palms or ferns, thriving in warm, tropical, and subtropical conditions. Cycad's striking appearance is adapted for arid environments, with thick trunks that store water and tough leaves that reduce moisture loss.
