Baobab trees have a swollen trunk so they can store litres and litres of water
Spongy bark also allows the baobab tree conserve water. The bark of the baobab is more porous than regular wood, making it able to absorb moisture like a sponge. This allows the tree to absorb as much water as possible in times of rain and store it for use during times of scarcity or drought. ~Look it up but hope it helps!

Guys if you want to save the baobab tree, you have to water it- do not throw trash on it. And it has to have sunlight!
The baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) absorb water by its roots.
120 000 litres. ;-) zaz
Baobab is the correct spelling for the tree.
Special problems that the Baobab tree faces to survive in its habitat include drought and fire. These trees can store water in their trucks but they often go without rain for nine months of the year. Fires are also common in their habitat.
They either store it in their trunks/stems like the baobab tree or the cactus. Or, they just need very little of it to survive.
it sucks up water from it's roots and uses the water for life
people eat the fruit from the tree, live in the trunks of the tree and get water from the tree due to the fact it holds water like a cactus
The Baobab has deep tap roots to suck water deep underground also, a very thick bark to preserve water for the dry season. The bark can store up to 120,000 litres of water to help it survive.
