Tall Trees need to be have long roots because the xylem and the phloem of the tall trees is long and heavy. Also All trees use roots for gathering nutrients from the ground. In the woods tree roots can be much longer than the width of its canopy. Trees also rely on the roots to support the trees enormous weight of the structure above the ground. They anchor the tree firmly in the soil to hopefully withstand all that nature can throw at it including wet soil and high winds.
