Cycadophyta, commonly referred to as cycads, is a division of seed plants that comprises gymnosperms, characterized by their large and often palm-like leaves and the production of cones for reproduction. These plants are ancient and were once widespread during the Mesozoic era, but today they are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. Cycads have a unique reproductive cycle, with separate male and female plants, and are known for their slow growth and longevity.
