Q. Which one of the following trees is known for its thick trunk, leafless branches which resemble roots, giving the tree an upside-down appearance?
Explanation – The Baobab Tree (Adansonia digitata) is known for its distinctive appearance, characterized by a thick, bottle-shaped trunk, and a spreading, sparse canopy with bare branches that often resemble roots, giving the tree an upside-down appearance. It is a long-lived, deciduous tree native to Africa and Australia, often found in hot, dry savannah regions. The Baobab Tree is also called the “Tree of Life” due to its ability to store water in its massive trunk, which helps it survive in arid environments and provides a crucial water source for various wildlife.
