Question

We often think of trees as simple objects that provide us with things we need, such as

lumber, shade, or fruit. Yet trees are far more complex-and social-than we recognize.
An underground network of fungi, which some have called the "wood-wide web,"
connects the roots of numerous trees in a forest. Using the network, trees can
communicate with and support one another. They may share water, carbon, nutrients,
and protective compounds with one another. Scientists believe that one explanation for
this phenomenon may be a "source-sink model." According to this theory, trees growing
in excellent conditions with many resources transfer these resources to trees growing in
less favorable conditions. In this way, trees in a forest ensure the health of the entire
community by working cooperatively.

Answer 1

Answer: Trees in a forest work to support one another by using an underground fungal network.

Explanation: Because there are many different type og environments and ground system in a forest, trees help each other by connecting themselves by a underground fungal network which help each other to grow correctly in the environment in which they are in.
