Furthermore, they are used as livestock fodder; in agriculture, construction, and medicines; and for cultural reasons. These ...
A living fossil is a deprecated term for an extant taxon that phenotypically resembles related species known only from the fossil record. To be considered a living fossil, the fossil species must be old relative to the time of origin of the extant clade. Living fossils commonly are of species-poor lineages, but they need not be.
Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany, is the branch of botany dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments (paleogeography), and the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in general.
The age of individual plants is difficult to assess, but many plants may be over 1,000 years old. Some individuals may be more than 2,000 years old. [12] As the species does not produce yearly rings, plant age is determined by radiocarbon dating. [19] However, other reports suggest that the plant does produce a kind of yearly ring. [8]
