Wikipedia
strobile
A strobilus (plural: strobili) is a structure present on many land plant species consisting of sporangia-bearing structures densely aggregated along a stem. Strobili are often called cones, but some botanists restrict the use of the term cone to the woody seed strobili of conifers. Strobili are characterized by a central axis (anatomically a stem) surrounded by spirally arranged or decussate structures that may be modified leaves or modified stems. Leaves that bear sporangia are called sporophylls, while sporangia-bearing stems are called sporangiophores.

strobile
A strobile, also known as a cone, is a type of reproductive structure found in some plant species, particularly gymnosperms and some types of algae. It is typically composed of numerous spore-bearing structures called sporophylls, which are usually spirally arranged around a central axis. The spore-producing organs are typically found beneath the scales of the strobile. In conifers, the strobile develops into a woody cone containing seeds.
