Please enter a description:
Cageroots are trees that get their name from how their roots are partially exposed, forming a "cage" in the hollow area underneath them before they join into a trunk. Cageroots are particularly gnarled and twisted trees, and the size of the "cage" may vary greatly -- dependent upon various factors, including the age of the tree, and the amount of flooding likely in the area. They tend to be found in swamps and other fairly damp areas, rather than in more arid regions. <p> The "cages" tend to collect debris (such as fallen leaves, or dirt moved by floodwaters), and are often home to a variety of creatures that may build their homes there, due to the partial protection afforded by the roots.
