Trees communicate. Not with human words. Through an underground network.
Deep below the soil, roots connect. Fungi form threads called mycelium. This forms the "Wood Wide Web".
Trees use this network to send signals. When danger approaches, warnings travel fast.
Imagine an insect attacks one tree. That tree releases chemical signals. It sends messages through roots and fungi to neighbors.
Neighboring trees receive the warning. They immediately produce bitter chemicals. Insects dislike bitter leaves. Trees protect themselves before attacks happen.
Older trees help younger ones. Trees share water and sugar with saplings in dark shadows. Without help, young trees might die.
Nature works together. Forests act like single super-organisms.
Do you think plants have feelings?
