In the plant kingdom, the California redwood should be regarded as the most magnificent, and its height can reach 80-90 meters, which is equivalent to the height of 30 floors.

Generally speaking, the higher a plant grows, the deeper its roots are to ensure that it will not be attacked by wind and rain. Surprisingly, however, the roots of California redwood are only scattered in the shallow layer of the land. Why can redwoods with insufficient roots resist wind and rain? Why can you grow so tall?

It is found that sequoia always grows in groups, not alone. The roots of this big redwood are intertwined and closely connected. They are connected one by one, forming a spectacular redwood forest, which cannot be shaken unless the wind is strong enough to lift the ground.

The growth mode of dense shallow roots of Sequoia is a high secret. Its roots are densely distributed on the surface of the earth in a large range, which can easily and quickly absorb the water and nutrients on which it depends, and use all the energy rooted downward for upward growth.

In this way, California redwoods broke the growth pattern of ordinary plants, connected by roots, and finally achieved an unshakable redwood forest.

Sadie once said: "Those who refuse to bend down to help others, when they fall, no one will be willing to help him." One's own strength can't guarantee great success, only by relying on the strength of the group can we reach the peak of success; Only by helping more people succeed can we have the energy to successfully climb to a new level.

Enlightenment of Sequoia

Among the only plants left in the world, the most magnificent is the redwood in California, USA. The height of sequoia is about 100 meter, which is equivalent to 30 stories high. Scientists studied redwood deeply and found many strange phenomena. Generally speaking, the higher a plant is, the deeper its roots should be. But the roots of sequoia just float on the ground. Theoretically, a tall plant with insufficient roots is very fragile, and a gust of wind can uproot it. How can sequoia grow so high and stand in the wind? The study found that sequoia always grows in pieces, and there is no independent and tall sequoia. A large sequoia is closely connected with each other's roots, one after another, forming a large block. No matter how big the hurricane in nature is, it can't shake thousands of sequoia forests with closely connected roots and covering thousands of hectares. Unless the hurricane is strong enough to overturn the whole land, no natural force can shake the redwoods.

The shallow roots of sequoia are also the weapon for it to grow so tall. Its roots float on the earth's surface, absorbing the water on which it depends conveniently, quickly and richly, making Sequoia grow rapidly and vigorously. At the same time, it doesn't need to spend too much energy to take root like ordinary plants, so it can have more energy for upward growth.
