Tree Roots:  I could go on and on of how I correlate Tree Roots to Details in Swimming.  To save time, read the following and come up with your own thoughts on tree roots and your swimming.  We will discuss it at practice.  

Healthy tree roots are absolutely essential for having a healthy tree. The roots of a tree are the non-nodes, non-leaf-bearing parts of the body of the tree. The function of tree roots are:

  • To absorb nutrients and water
  • To store nutrients and food
  • To anchor the tree to the ground
  • Vegetative competition with other plants

 

Roots are the highways that minerals and water can be transported from the soil to the rest of the tree. They are also able to store food reserves during the winter so that your tree can produce foliage in the spring.

 

While roots play an important role in getting your tree the nutrients it needs, they also play a structural role. Without healthy roots, your tree might not be well anchored to the ground and will be much more likely to fall over.
