20 year old Sago Palm has a new emerged 8 inch size ball in its center- What is it ?

Sounds like you have a female Sago that is in it's reproductive cycle:


"As with other cycads, the Sago Palm has either male or female cones (the reproductive part of a cycad). Male cones protrude and are shaped like a cone or torpedo, whereas females are "cabbage" shaped and are gold or tan-yellow in color. The female cone will slowly open up when receptive to pollen. "
