Leaves: Pandanus plants are known for their long, narrow, sword-shaped leaves that are often arranged in a spiral pattern around the stem, giving the plant its "screw" appearance. The leaves can be green or variegated, and they often have sharp spines or teeth along the edges. These tough, fibrous leaves are often used in traditional crafts or as weaving material in many cultures.

Size: The size of a Pandanus plant can vary greatly depending on the species. Some species, like Pandanus tectorius, can grow into large, tree-like plants that reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) in height, while others remain more compact, forming shrubs or small trees. The plant typically develops a large, rosette-like cluster of leaves at the top of a trunk-like stem.

Fruit: Some Pandanus species produce large, pineapple-like fruits, which are often not edible in their raw form but can be processed and consumed in certain regions. These fruits have a distinctive, segmented appearance, with individual fruitlets resembling small pineapples clustered together.

Aerial Roots: Many species of Pandanus, especially the larger tree-like varieties, develop aerial roots that grow down from the trunk or branches into the soil. These roots help support the plant, particularly in areas where the soil is shallow or unstable. In some species, these aerial roots contribute to the plant's ability to survive in coastal or marshy environments.
