tree ferns
Tall prehistoric plants
Tree ferns are ferns that grow tall woody trunks, reaching heights of several meters.
Unlike true trees, their trunks are formed from densely packed fibrous roots rather than wood.
They thrive in tropical and subtropical forests, their large fronds creating distinctive umbrella-like canopies.
Tree ferns are among the oldest plant forms, their ancestors predating dinosaurs.
