Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024

A
large, leathery leaves
B
straight slender stems with branches near the top
C
thin, smooth barks
D
thick, corky bark
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
Trees in the savanna habitat are adapted to survive in an environment with seasonal rainfall and frequent fires.* Thick, corky bark is a key adaptation. It protects the trees from damage caused by fire and also helps to conserve water during the dry season.* Large, leathery leaves are more characteristic of rainforest trees to capture sunlight in the low-light environment.* Straight, slender stems with branches near the top is more typical of trees in a more dense environment.* Thin, smooth barks are not common in the savanna because they offer less protection from fire.
