The tree
ssk^p III _n.tImw
tree is a tall plant with a trunk and
branches made of wood. Trees can live
f
o
A r many years. The oldest tree ever
discovered is approximately 5,000 years old
and the oldest tree from the UK is about 1,000.
The four main parts of a tree are the roots, the
trunk, the branches, and the leaves.
The roots of a tree are usually under the
ground. However, this is not always true. The
roots of the mangrove tree are often under
water. A single tree has many roots. The roots
carry nutrients and water from the ground
through the trunk and branches to the leaves
of the tree. They can also breathe in air.
Sometimes, roots are specialized into aerial
roots, which can also provide support, as is the
case with the banyan tree.
