What are Trees?

A tree is a tall plant with a trunk and branches made of wood. Trees can
live for many years.

The four main parts of a tree are the roots, the trunk, the branches,
and the leaves. Two types of trees are evergreen trees and deciduous
trees.
The leaves are mostly green, butthey can come in many colours,
shapes and sizes.

The roots are usuallyunder the ground. A single tree has

many roots.

The trunk is the main body of the tree and is covered with
bark which protects it from damage. Branches grow from
the trunk.

Bark: The trunk is covered by the bark, which protectsthe

tree against damage. Some trees have rough bark while
some have smoother barks, some have lovely colours like
red and white.
