Two functions of roots


A good root system serves two purposes in the tree’s development: it functions as an anchor and the roots collect moisture, without which the tree could not thrive.

Strong roots function as an anchor and ensure that a tree remains standing regardless of the weather and other elements of nature. Rain or shine, lightning or tornado, a tree may even suffer some damage to its body, but its roots will ensure it remains standing and recovers.

The root of a problem plays a similar role. It doesn’t matter what happens to the visible parts of the problem, its “leaves and branches”. As long as the root remains, it will ensure the problem remains standing and recovers its original state in due course.

The other function of roots is to feed the tree. They provide uptake of nutrients and water for growth and cooling, and provide storage for food reserves.

The root of a problem also feeds the problem. It ensures the problem stays alive, even if for a while it remains dormant. A person may have a problem last for many years, and only see it manifest from time to time. But it only exists and thrives because the root is feeding it.

Whatever happens to a tree, its rise or decline, it’s directly linked to its root system.

No tree exists without roots. Neither does a problem.
