Cycads (Cycadopsida) - PictureThis

Cycads

Cycads are ancient, palm-like plants featuring tough, evergreen leaves that form a crown atop a sturdy trunk. These slow-growing plants resemble ferns and palms but belong to a distinct group, thriving in tropical and subtropical environments. Adapted to arid conditions, cycads's water-efficient structure allows it to persist in less fertile soils, a testimony to its prehistoric origins.
