A tree is like a big friend that stands still and grows taller every year.
Imagine you have a favorite toy box in your room, it stays there, but every time you add new toys, it gets bigger. A tree is kind of like that toy box, but outside. It has roots underground, which are like the legs of the tree, holding it up. Above ground, it has a trunk, which is like the body of the tree, and branches, which are like arms reaching out to catch sunlight.
How trees grow
A tree starts as a small seed, maybe in the soil under your backyard. When it gets water and sunlight, it grows into a little plant. Over time, it becomes taller and stronger, just like you when you eat healthy food and play outside every day.
Some trees can even live for hundreds of years! They watch kids grow up, see new houses built, and keep giving shade on hot days. That’s why people love trees, they’re like quiet friends who never leave.
