A leaf-like structure or modified leaf associated with male reproductive parts in certain plants or organisms.
From Greek 'andros' (male) + 'phyllon' (leaf), meaning literally 'male leaf.' This rare botanical term emerged to describe structures that combine leaf-like and reproductive functions.
Nature loves recycling—plants often turn leaves into flowers, flowers into fruits—so 'androphyll' names structures that blur the line between being a leaf and being reproductive!
