Asteroxylon rooting-system interpretive reconstruction
AI-assisted interpretive plate anchored to the published three-dimensional Asteroxylon mackiei reconstruction, showing aerial, root-bearing and rooting axes without treating the exemplar as a universal lycophyte body plan.

Interpretive boundary and uncertainty
AI-assisted interpretive reconstruction — not a specimen photograph, scale drawing or direct evidence.
Asteroxylon is a species-level exemplar. Rooting-axis layout, missing tissues, scale and colour remain interpretive; the image does not represent every lycophyte or a direct ancestor.
