Wet Roots


We went to South Florida last week. Here are some pictures from my canoe trip at Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Cypress trees are really cool. Because they need a way to get Oxygen to their roots which are always under water, they have "knees." Yes, plants need Oxygen for respiration just like animals.

Check out the "stain line" that shows how deep the water can get.


Red mangroves have "prop roots."

Hello Mr. Slider!
Here is a picture of me getting my roots wet at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys.
