The truth about the species with the ability to "walk" unique in the world people say trees can move 2-3 cm per day, or 20 meters per year. Socratea exorrhiza aka "tree walk", is a special species of palm trees live in tropical rain forests in Central and south America like Ecuador. We have a long and strong roots, grow out of the trunk and crashed to the ground, looking very much like the tentacles. According to locals, the reason people put the tree the name "tree walk" by we can move from place to light shade sun by plugging new roots in the direction it wants to move, and the old roots will slowly pop up, dry out and decay. this process can last several years, but others said the plant can "go" is 2 or 3 cm per day, or 20 meters per year. However, the biologist Gerardo Avalos, director of the Research Center for Sustainable Development in Atenas, Costa Rica said that this is a myth created by people in order to attract tourists. He has studied and pointed out that "tree walk" does not have the ability to move. An elderly couple in tree roots may die, but the trunk still firmly in its original position. The scientists are not clear about the role of the body growing from the roots. Some claim that they helped plant more solid, others said that they help plants grow higher without increasing trunk diameter. This hypothesis has not yet been clearly demonstrated.
