Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cycads are a group of gymnosperms that were present during the Mesozoic era, which is when many of the dinosaur movies are set. They are known for their large, woody trunks that resemble palm trees and would have been fitting candidates for the large plants seen in dinosaur movies. Lycophytes, bryophytes, and angiosperms were also present during the Mesozoic era, but they are unlikely to have produced the large, tree-like plants depicted in movies.
