These knees grow above the tree roots, particularly in swampy areas and bayous. It is thought that they stabilize the tree and provide oxygen to the tree’s roots. This for the word “under” today.
These are so intriguing -- we were able to see them in a trip to South Carolina kayaking on one of their lowland rivers. I'd not seen anything like them before.
...ok...I would have sworn this was the most recent day I had left you a comment! Maybe I forgot to his "Post Comment"! It had caught my eye because when we visited Danette in Florida, post cruise, we walked through the Everglades and she pointed these out to us! Quite interesting! (At the time, we were also looking for baby alligators!)
