Roots! Clinging desperately to the side of the hill! Or casually exploring the environs.

An image of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) roots growing on the side of a hill. The roots are gradually being exposed by weathering, and look a bit as if they are clinging for dear life. Doug firs are notoriously shallow rooted and are the most likely trees to fall in windy rainstorms

A young Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a mass of surface roots casually exploring the ground, with ferns, dewberries and small plants growing on top.
