Baobab

A baobab is a distinctive, iconic tree native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, known for its massive trunk and unique, often swollen shape. It can live for thousands of years and stores large amounts of water in its thick trunk, helping it survive droughts. The tree produces nutrient-rich fruit called "monkey bread," which is high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Baobabs play a vital ecological role, providing shelter, food, and water for wildlife and humans alike. Their striking appearance and resilience make them symbols of endurance and an important part of their ecosystems.
