Plant's Amazing Survival Instinct: Baobab tree

Baobab trees live in areas where the dry and the rainy season are evident.

 

The baobab trees have the following plans. 

• During the rainy season, baobab trees store as much water as possible for insurance on their stems and branches.
• In addition, U-shaped branches are designed so that water flows down toward the tree. The purpose is to absorb as much water as possible even after the rain stops.
• In the dry season, all the leaves are dropped. Leaves are dropped to prevent loss of moisture in the leaf pores.
