What are the adaptations of a fan palm?

Fan palms, belonging to the family Arecaceae, have several adaptations that enable them to thrive in their native environments. Their large, fan-shaped leaves help to capture sunlight efficiently while providing shade and reducing water loss through transpiration. The deep root system allows them to access groundwater, making them resilient in drought conditions. Additionally, their robust trunk structure supports the weight of the broad fronds, ensuring stability in windy conditions.
