Which tree has the deepest roots in the world

The scorching heat and long periods without clouds and rain supply do not automatically mean the absence of growing flora. We only recognize the tip of the iceberg, most of the flora remains hidden from us, since it penetrates deep into the earth.

1. Which Tree has the Deepest Roots in the World?

2. About Fig Tree:
●Fig tree only requires a soil depth of 1-1.5 meters.
●The root network of a single tree can be several thousand meters long.
●The root of a regular fig tree can hardly compete.
●This Fig tree native to South Africa tops another record list because no other plant has roots
that penetrate deeper into the soil than the fig tree.
●It grows there on the rocks and can survive there very well.
●Some of the roots above the surface of the earth offer a firm hold on the hard rock, a single,
about ten to twenty centimeters thick root strand penetrates deep into the earth through
massive rocks.
●It grows through partially thick layers of earth and obstacles, the root continuously searches for
water, automatically making its way through gaps in the rock and porous rock.
● At the tip of the root, it secretes a slimy secretion, which loosens and decomposes the layers
of the earth.

3. About Fig Tree
●The water supply enables the fruit-bearing
part of the tree on the earth’s surface to
survive.
●There is a cave system in South Africa known
as the Echo Caves and there, the path of the
plants through the underground can be
traced very well.
●The single root runs through the caves like a
water pipe, then disappears back into the
ground until the groundwater or another
water source is finally reached.
●When the time comes and water is found, the
long journey ends.

4. About Fig Tree:
●This particular fig tree has a root with the deepest measurement of 120 meters which is
massive for a tree root.
●It shows the trees’ fight for survival and success.
●The time of this trip, which is the time it took to grow to a record-breaking length, is also
extremely impressive.
●It took a full 70 years to grow 120 meters looking for a water source.
●The root pumps about 25 liters of water a day all the way up to the fig tree, which defies the
heat and drought in the dry environment of South Africa.
