Baobab tree

The baobab tree, often called the "Tree of Life," is a large, iconic tree native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia. It features a massive trunk that can store thousands of liters of water, helping it survive droughts. The tree’s thick branches resemble roots spreading outwards, and its leaves are used for food and medicine. Baobabs produce edible fruit rich in vitamin C and have been valued for resources like shelter, food, and water for centuries. They can live for over a thousand years, making them vital ecological and cultural landmarks in their environments.
