    “Conifers” comes from “Cone” as in Pine Cone

    “Mammals” as in Mammary glands

    Those are the two that come to mind but there have been several more in the same vein of these as I rapidly approach the conclusion of my fifth decade…

        Ferns are very weird plants. The big fern plant you see doesn’t produce seeds. It is asexual and produces spores off the undersides of its fronds. The spores grow into tiny sexual plants, which then reproduce to make more big asexual ferns.
