DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Trees gather light for photosynthesis through their leaves; this process creates “food” for the tree. Most of a tree trunk is dead tissue and serves only to support the weight of the tree crown. The outside layers of the tree trunk are the only living portion. The cambium produces new wood and new bark.

Detailed explanation-2: -The crown of a plant refers to the total of an individual plant’s aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures. A plant community canopy consists of one or more plant crowns growing in a given area.

Detailed explanation-3: -The branchy part of a tree above the stem is known as the crown of the tree, from which the entire tree spreads to create a conopy.
