Palm tree leaves are very flexible and can be blown into a streamlined shape by a strong wind. This reduces their wind resistance and therefore reduces the strength they need to have to withstand the wind.

Palm trees have a trunk that hold the leaves as high as possible, which is good for keeping the leaves away from predators and for capturing sunlight, but exposes them to strong winds. Having all the leaves attached to the trunk at the high point rather than multiple branches up the trunk also minimises the structure required to resist wind.
