Cycadofilicales’ is a term used in paleobotany that refers to an order of ancient plants that exhibit characteristics of both cycads and ferns. These plants are known to have existed during the Mesozoic era and are known for their fern-like leaves and reproductive structures. The term is derived from the combination of ‘Cycado-‘, relating to cycads, and ‘filicales’, which pertains to ferns. This classification reflects a unique evolutionary lineage that highlights the diversity of prehistoric plant life.
