If you're an expert gardener, you'll know that trees are living, breathing creatures.
Their bark is their equivalent of skin, branches are arms and their leaves are hair!

But what about the feet? A creature can't exist without feet - unless it is a fish!

Well, a tree is not a fish. That would be ridiculous. No, trees do have feet - but they are hidden underground, away from the eyes of mortal man. And they are known as roots.

Root are like a whole network of wooden pipes which serve to anchor the tree and stop it from floating off into the atmosphere. They also feed the tree, sucking up water, bugs and dirt like a blind elephant's trunk.

The deepest root was recently discovered at an incredible depth of 22 metres, below the ancient Redwood forests of Yellowstone national park, USA!

If you were to stretch that root out horizontally, it would not wrap around the world any times at all!

WOW!
