The roots of the angsana tree has buttress roots that are widely spread out to allow the tree to allow the tree to firmly anchor itself to the ground and also to allow the tree to allow as much water as possible due to the rainfall in singapore being more than 2000mm.

The angsana tree also has wide, shallow roots.In the tropical rainforest, there is ample rainfall, so there is no need for tree roots to grow deep to reach groundwater, as they can get it from the surface.The roots are very wide and spreading, which helps to increase the surface area from which the angsana is supported, thereby increasing its stability, better helping it to keep upright and to stay firmly rooted to the ground.]]> 2021-07-28 01:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613432 asherrgan https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613714 The angsana has buttress roots which are large and wide.

The roots help stabilise the tree in shallow saturated soils, help hold it firmly on the ground.
Because of the unique  rainfall of more than 2000mm per annum, the angsana would have these unique characteristics for its roots. ]]> 2021-07-28 01:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613728 lin_houliang_evan https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613795 The roots(buttress roots) are shallow and spreading that can allow the tree to anchor itself firmly into the ground and to absorb water more efficiently near the surface ]]> 2021-07-28 01:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613795 negapatan_rey_alph https://padlet.com/loh_hwee_kiang_ruth1_1/7vmqwe0jnpgvcxz2/wish/1662613832 The angsana tree has buttress roots which are shallow and spreading.
