Trees can talk to each other using a special kind of underground network made of tiny fungi. This network is like an invisible phone line that connects all the trees in a forest, helping them share food and even warn each other when something bad is happening.
Examples
- A tree can help its neighbor grow by sending it food through the invisible phone lines in the soil.
- When a big tree is cut down, all the trees around it get sad because they lose their friend.
- If one tree feels hungry, it asks for help from another tree using the mycorrhizal network.
