Image Description: We may marvel at the enormous size and girth of some trees, but we often forget that all of the magic that goes into growing a plant that large originates with a tree’s roots! This photograph serves as a stern reminder of this reality, giving us a view of an extensive root system that is searching for sustenance above, below, and throughout the ground around the base of what looks to be a substantial specimen. While they may have a dirty, worn look for having climbed above ground, each of these thick, reaching roots serves to help the tree above locate water and nutrients, slowly pulling the same upwards in order to feed the constant growth that the tree requires in order to survive the changing seasons.
