Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Stilt roots of the palm tree, Iriartea
Stilt roots. The stilt roots of the palm, Iriartea deltoidia in the rainforest. The roots of this palm can be seen spreading above the ground. Stilt roots (also known as prop roots) emerge from the main trunk and act as a form of buttress. They lend extra support to trees with very wide spreading branches. This is in addition to the roots main roles of subterranean support and absorption of water and minerals. Stilt roots are found on a large number of tropical trees. In forests prone to flooding, such as mangroves, stilt roots can serve to aerate the roots. Photographed in Ecuador

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent stilt roots of the palm tree, Iriartea deltoidia, thriving in the lush rainforest of Ecuador. These unique roots can be seen gracefully spreading above the ground, acting as a form of buttress to provide additional support for this majestic tree with its wide-spreading branches. Stilt roots, also known as prop roots, emerge from the main trunk and play multiple crucial roles in sustaining tropical trees. Apart from their primary function of underground support and absorption of water and minerals, these remarkable structures are found on numerous trees in tropical forests. In flood-prone environments like mangroves, stilt roots serve an additional purpose by aerating the submerged root system. The photograph beautifully captures nature's intricate design and highlights the resilience and adaptability of plant life in challenging ecosystems. The vibrant green foliage surrounding these stilt roots adds to their visual appeal while emphasizing their significance within rainforest flora. This awe-inspiring image is a testament to both botanical wonders and ecological balance found within our planet's diverse landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even beneath our feet lies a world teeming with extraordinary beauty waiting to be explored and appreciated.
