A Miracle of Nature: The Science of Trees
Trees begin their lives as tiny seeds that sprout roots and shoots when they get enough water, sunlight, and warmth. As a tree grows, its roots spread underground to absorb water and nutrients. The trunk grows taller and thicker each year, adding rings that show the tree’s age. Leaves help trees make food through photosynthesis, using sunlight and air. Trees can live for many years and provide oxygen, shade, food, and homes for animals. Understanding how trees grow helps explain why forests are so important to life on Earth.
