This is called a Strangling fig. A palm tree is acting as a support for the growing fig tree. This happens when a bird drops seed in the groove of the palms resulting in growth of the fig midway. It takes the support of the other host tree till it roots itself underground. As the young strangler fig grows, long roots grow down along the trunk of the host tree, eventually completely engulfing the host tree trunk.
The Feacus asperema, commonly known as the strangling tree, is a species of tree notable for its aggressive growth.bNative to tropical rainforests, it begins its life as an epiphyte, germinating on a host tree. Over time, it extends its roots downward and envelops the host, eventually choking and killing it by restricting its growth and access to nutrients. This species is characterized by its robust, twisting roots and dense foliage, which can create an almost impenetrable canopy.
Persea americana, commonly known as avocado, is a subtropical tree renowned for its nutrient-rich, creamy fruits. Native to Central and South America, it has been cultivated for thousands of years for its high content of healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals. The tree thrives in warm climates and has significant agricultural value, with avocados being a staple in many diets worldwide.
The pupa stage is a transformative phase where insects like butterflies and beetles reorganize internally within protective cocoons or cases. Despite appearing dormant, this period is vital for developing adult features and often includes unique defense mechanisms.
Ipomoea cairica, also known as the mile-a-minute vine or railway creeper, is a robust, perennial vine from the Convolvulaceae family. Distinguished by its rapid growth, this plant can swiftly cover large areas, earning its nickname "mile-a-minute."
