Recover pictures and videos

Going to try and keep this as short as possible..

Does iCloud not automatically save/backup pictures and videos?

My iPhone was broken a year or two ago and I lost my sd card thing. Everyone told me that everything should automatically be saved in the cloud but I can't seem to find anything. My dad's funeral pictures and pictures and videos from when he was still alive. All of my sons baby pictures and videos.

Is there a way I could possibly recover any of that?

Someone anyone please help!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11

As per the article https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204264

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 10.3 or later, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photos.

In the broken iphone if photo box was checked , the photos will definitely synced with iCloud server and are saved .

The photos can be viewed at www.icloud.com using a web browser , sign in with same Apple ID and password that was used in an iPhone .

See some articles https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/icloud/mm8b32f3ae27/icloud

Normally you should have iCloud Photos enabled. If not, it's extremely likely that you've run out of the free 5GB storage on iCloud and there's no way to recover the unsaved photos. :(
