How a Tree works

Trees are perennial, woody plants characterized by a single, elongated main stem or trunk, which supports a branching structure of limbs, branches, and leaves. Belonging primarily to the kingdom Plantae, trees are distinguished from shrubs by their greater height, typically exceeding 3 meters (10 feet) at maturity, and their well-defined trunk. They are integral to terrestrial ecosystems, serving as critical components of forests, woodlands, and various biomes worldwide.
