The Kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) is a forest dwelling tree (tropical). it has large butress root which help support the plant and anchor roots deep into the poor soils. Tropical rain forests are also sometimes prone to flooding, so the deep root system is an added benefit.
lots of animals live in a Kapok tree. Like toucans
During periods of severe drought, the kapok tree will shed its leaves. This reduces the loss of moisture, which might otherwise kill the tree.
There are also spikes that protrude from the trunk which protect it from damage.
The kapok tree adapted to its rainforest environment by growing up through the canopy and towering over the other trees to reach the sunlight. Also, its flowers release a foul stench that attracts bats, who in turn spread the treeâ??s pollen.
