I believe the answer is:

palms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trees?' is the definition.
(palm is a kind of tree)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palms that I've seen before include "Hand parts or tropical trees" , "Large, tropical trees" .)
