    A tree is defined as a perennial plant with an elongated stem or trunk that supports branches and leaves. The trunk contains woody and vascular tissue to provide strength and transport materials throughout the tree. Roots branch out widely below ground to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients, while branches above ground divide into smaller branches and shoots bearing leaves, flowers, fruit, cones or spores.

    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 woody plants, only plants that are usable as lumber or only plants above a specified height.
    At its broadest, trees include the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboo.
    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 branch and spread out widely; they serve to
    anchor the tree and etract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches
    divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light
    energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree!s growth and
    development. Flowers and fruit may also be present, but some trees such as conifers instead
    have pollen cones and seed cones, and others such as tree ferns produce sporesinstead.
