Answer:

Fiddleheads or koru

Step-by-step explanation:

The coiled, immature leaves are called fiddleheads. Young fronds, called fiddleheads because of their striking resemblance to the head of a violin, start out tightly curled at the base of the root. New, or young fronds are produced from the rhizome. They are tightly coiled into a spiral (called a fiddlehead or koru), and these slowly uncoil as they mature.
