They are outgrowths of the trees, shallow roots some hypothesize that they are for aeration or other survival means. Just proof that all things natural, without human interference know how to survive and thrive. 🦋 The bald cypress's ability to thrive in wet environments and its long lifespan (some trees can live for thousands of years) make it a symbol of resilience and the ability to withstand hardship. 💪
