Cycads

Cycads are ancient, palm-like plants primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. Distinguished by their stout trunks and large, compound leaves that radiate outwards, they resemble ferns or palms but belong to a distinct group. These slow-growing plants often form symbiotic relationships with specialized soil fungi, enhancing their ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils.
