How Does a ‘Fractal’ Appear in Nature and Why Is It Interesting?

Fractals are like patterns that repeat themselves, like when you look at a tree and see smaller trees on its branches, and even tinier ones on those. This happens in nature because things grow by following the same rule over and over again, it’s like a never-ending drawing! Fractals can be found in snowflakes, fern leaves, and even lightning.
