This is the life force of the tree, it dictates the trees ability to protect itself and recover from injury or infection. 

These provide water, nutrients and stability, they are nearly always found within the top 60cm of soil and rarely do trees have a 'tap root'. The root zone is very important, if roots are damaged, the tree will suffer.

The stem gives vantage and transports nutrients and water to branches, leaves and roots. It is the main body of the tree and we can use the stem to estimate the volume or overall mass of the organism.

The branches provide lateral vantage and support the energy producing leaves. They transport nutrients and create the canopy of the tree.

Leave are energy factories pruding the sugars needed to build wood and grow. They can fall annually or may remain on a tree for many years before being replaced. Through the leaves, all trees photosynthesize and this requires carbon dioxide and water and the result is energy and oxygen!
