The proverb, Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it, is an African proverb which means, that each person goes through life collecting , examining and using all the knowledge and experiences they have encountered which helps them become the person they are meant to be. The reason why the Baobab tree is used  in the proverb is because it is a symbol of life.  The tree behaves like a giant succulent and up to 80% of its trunk is water, a valuable resource. It lives up to 1,500 years of age. Just like each of us living our lives to the fullest taking in and absorbing as much from our experiences and learning from our mistakes. What we do with that knowledge makes us the person we are.
