Frond

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to unfold a stubbornly crumpled piece of paper that refuses to smooth out. Just like how the paper has many creases and folds, a frond, which is the leaf of a fern, also starts out tightly coiled and gradually unfurls as it grows. In both cases, the paper's wrinkles and the fern's coils represent a transition from a compact state to an expanded one, illustrating how complex patterns or forms emerge from simple beginnings.
