Because it strangles a tree.
THE Strangler fig is used to track down stranglers
when strangler figs emerge from the ground, tiny roots emerge with them, and grab the trunk of a nearby tree, cutting off its flow of nutrients. the strangler fig now no-longer has to compere with the other tree for its nutrients

the strangler fig climbs onto another tree and strangles it until it dies and then the fig is attached to the dead tree

Because they look like they're STRANGLING something. a vine is wrapped around another tree. thats why they're called stranglers. Hope this helped!:):):):):):) i try.
It climbs up it using its roots to get to sunlight in the canopy. Eventually the strangler fig tree will strangle the host tree to death and only the hollow strangler fig will be left.
There are many names, but this is one of them. F. microcarpa.
The strangler fig is called so because of its unique growth habit. It starts as a seed that germinates in the branches of a host tree, sending down roots that encircle and eventually envelop the host. As it grows, the strangler fig can outcompete and kill the host tree, effectively "strangling" it. This process can lead to the host tree's demise while allowing the fig to thrive, often resulting in a hollowed-out remnant of the original tree.
You burn it
