Under the bark of a tree is a layer called the cambium, which is the only living part of the trunk. This layer grows, adding new wood to the tree. A different kind of wood grows during the summer than in the fall. In the summer, the wood grows fast. It tends to be soft and light in color. In the fall, a denser kind of wood grows. This wood is more watertight and prevents the tree from drying out in the winter.
So in many kinds of trees, especially in areas that have harsh winters, each year can be counted with a light area and dark area that go all the way around the tree, forming a ring.
In the inside of trees, there are alternating dark and light rings. They are there because they are two different types of wood. The lighter rings are known as the early wood. In this wood, there is a lot of water present. This wood is from the spring months. There is also the late wood, which are the darker rings. These rings are lacking in water, and they were from the winter months. You are able to know the tree's age by counting every two rings as one year because each year has the two types of wood.
because each year it rains and the rain goes into the trunk and forms rings the thicker rings mean there is more rain
yes you can you can see if there has been a drought or not by the length of each circle.
If you mean trees, a ring equals one year, and so the rings tell you how old a tree is, by counting all of them ^^
No, all the trees do not have rings.
no they have sprials

Annual growth rings are commonly studied in trees.
In these rings itself the vascular tissue, specially the xylem is gathered in a tree. The phloem remain peripheral to these rings.

Trees show growth rings on the cross-section of their trunks.
No, the trees in Lord of the Rings were computer animated.
yes, palm trees has rings
the analysis of tree rings and dating trees according to their rings.
age
In tropical trees, the rings in the xylem are not annual like the growth rings in temperate trees. Instead, they can represent periods of growth that may be influenced by factors such as rainfall patterns, rather than yearly cycles. Therefore, they do not provide a reliable way to determine the age of a tree as tree rings do in temperate regions.

Be in the lord of the rings
The bones of cold-blooded animals have rings similar to growth rings in trees.
