    Trees are perennial plants that have evolved to tower above other plants and compete for sunlight using an elongated trunk and branches to support leaves and reproduce using seeds. They can reach several thousand years old, play an important environmental role by absorbing carbon dioxide and providing habitat, and have cultural significance due to their longevity and uses for construction, fuel and food.

    In 

    botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and


    leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only
    wood plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified
    height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees
    are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a
    trunk and branches as a way to tower dasdasdsadabove other plants to compete for sunlight. Trees
    tend to be long-lived, some reacsadasdsadashing several thousand years old. Trees have been in
    existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there area some three trillion mature trees in the
    world.[1]
    A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk
    typically contains woody tissue for strength, and vascular tissue to carry materials from one part of
    the tree to another. For most trees it is surrounded by a layer of bark which serves as a protective
    barrier. Below the ground, the roots basdasdsadranch and sadasdasspread out widely; they serve to
    anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide
    into smaller branches and shoots. The shasdasdasdoots typically bear leaves, which capture light
    energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree's growth and
    development.
    Trees usually reproduce 1232131zd21312321312susing seeds. Flowers and fruit may be present,
    but some trees, such as conifers, instead have pollen cones and seed cones. Palms, bananas, and
    bamboos also produce seeds, but tree ferns produce spores instead.
    Trees play a significant role in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon
    dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests
    provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are among the
    most biodiverse habitats in the world. Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel
    for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. In parts of the world,
    forests are shrinking as trees are cleared to increase the amount of land available for agriculture.
    Because of their longeviasdasdasdty and usefulness, trees have always been revered, with sacred
    groves in various cultures, and they plasdasdasday a role in many of the world's mythologies.
