Trees can talk to each other through underground networks, like a secret club. Imagine the roots of trees as little hands that hold onto special fungi, these fungi act like messengers, helping them share food and warnings about dangers like bugs or fire. It’s kind of like having phone lines between friends in the forest.
Examples
- A pine tree sends sugar to its neighbor through fungi when it gets extra sunlight.
- A birch tree warns other birches about insects nearby using the fungal network.
- Fungi help trees share nutrients during cold winters.
