The process of becoming cone-shaped or developing cone-like structures; the transformation into or formation of a cone or conical shape.
From 'coni-' (cone) combined with the suffix '-fication' (meaning the act or process of making). The suffix comes from Latin '-ficatio,' indicating transformation or creation.
Conification in botany describes how some plants gradually reshape their growth pattern to become more conical—this happens in nature as trees compete for light and develop the classic pine-tree silhouette.
