The tops of trees and the roots of trees are kinda the same thing just growing into a different material 👍✔️
this exact thought has lived in my head for like a decade and I'm ecstatic to see it spoken by others.
it's like trees looked at a ball of rocks and dirt surrounded by gas and were like "i bet it would rock if there were millions of times more surface area between them" and then decided to just do that to them both.
