The term “Cycadofilicales” refers to an order of extinct seed plants that are characterized by features similar to both cycads and ferns. These plants were prevalent during the Mesozoic era and are part of the broader group of gymnosperms. The defining characteristics of Cycadofilicales include a combination of fern-like leaves and reproductive structures that resemble those found in cycads. This order helps paleobotanists understand the evolution and diversity of plant life during historical geological periods.
