Cycadophyta, or Cycads grow in a number of different habitats. Species may be found as components of the forest understory in both rainforests and seasonally dry forests, or occasionally as members of the forest canopy. Other cycads grow in loose stands in grasslands, forming a kind of savanna.

Cycads or similar plants were the food of herbivorous dinosaurs and the fate of both of these groups of organisms was probably closely linked. They survive as a few species of tropical palm-like trees, including one which is native to the USA, Zamia pumila the cardboard palm.
