I’m no good at identifying palms this young. My wild guess is maybe foxtail in part due to the nibbled ends of the leaflets.

Did they just start popping up on your property? What trees are around you?

Where are you? Because of the praemorse/jagged edge leaves I venture you have Wodyetia/foxtail or Ptychospermas seedlings.

Ok but there is huge foxtail palm beside my house but i think thats not foxtail palm. Here a picture of the palm roots, the roots is small and the seedling is small too maybe around 5 cm - 6 cm, i pick them in my garden in a rocky sandy soil under my starfruit tree in a shaded area, every week it keep on growing from the soil and i never see a foxtail seed falling into my garden and germinate.

I’ll have a better guess one year from now when it’s bigger! Until then, happy growing!

Foxtails have seeds almost the size of golf balls. I think you would know if it’s a foxtail with the seed close by if not still connected. Guessing Ptychosperma too.

I'd guess P. elegans (solitaire palm) as being the most likely candidate; very widely cultivated and a good visual fit. Foxtail seedlings, in my experience, tend to be bigger and have longer petioles, and the large, distinctive seed would still be attached to them at the 2-3 leaves stage.  

I'm no expert on Ptychosperma, though, but if you got them randomly germinating in your garden (somewhere in the USA, I presume, or maybe Australia), and not from the jungles of New Guinea, my money's on P. elegans.

Why won't you disclose your general location? It would help to know what palms might commonly be grown where you are.

Since so many of these palms seem to sprout in your yard why not try to locate a seed or two? This could help identify your seedlings. Considering the size of these palms you should be able to find at least one seed still attached or nearby.

How many threads do you intend to start in an attempt to identify these palms? You already have three now.

amen to that. I don't understand why people have become so paranoid about revealing what part of the world they hide out in although they may confess every quirk to Mark Zuckerberg on FB/Meta. Then they wonder why no one responds to their pleas. I guarantee I have not and never will try to find you or anyone else to make a nuisance of myself.
