Correct answer: Sabal palmetto

The Sabal palmetto was added to the state flag to honor the defense of Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island in 1776. The fort's walls, built of spongy palmetto logs, famously absorbed British cannonballs instead of shattering. This heroic stand gave the state its nickname, "The Palmetto State."
