No, the hitchhiker's thumb refers to a genetic trait that allows the thumb to bend backward at an angle greater than 90 degrees. It is not a gesture but a physical characteristic.
The fibers in the tree are not strong enough to stay still and hold in place, so they sway to prevent from snapping
Because its part of a bigger orginism that also had to bend to survive. If a tree were rigid and not able to bend, a strong wind or ice storm would injure or kill it. Having the ability to bend or be flexible allows it to sway with the wind. Its also another reason why some trees drop their leaves during the fall and winter. To protect the tree from wind damage.
It depends how far you bend it.
That depends on what you mean by "not bend". Nothing will bend if it just sits there, but if you attempt to bend it with even your hands, pure gold should bend at least some noticeable distance.

Erector spinae
Approximately 25-30% of people have a hitchhiker's thumb, which is characterized by the ability to bend the tip of the thumb backwards at an angle of 90 degrees or more. It is an inherited trait caused by a genetic variation in the joint of the thumb.
Limber Timber.
Just so you know, there is no such thing as a "family crest". A coat of arms, which is what you are thinking of, belongs to one person and one person only. It does not belong to a family, although it can be inherited, as Shakespeare inherited his from his father. The shield is or a bend sable. On the bend is a lance.
Trees are moving due to the wind blowing against their branches and leaves, causing them to sway and bend.
Because there not straight :P
Trees bend in response to environmental factors such as wind, sunlight, and gravity in order to optimize their growth and survival. This bending allows trees to better adapt to their surroundings and maximize their access to resources like sunlight and water.
It uses its trunk. Elephants live in forests where rich vegetations are usually high up in the tree. The leaves of plants form the basic source of food for the elephants and the tusks help them bend or break branches of the trees and help them pluck out the leaves and fruits from the trees. The trunks also help them suck up water and helps them drink.
Pine.
To bend a tree effectively, gently apply pressure to the tree trunk in the direction you want it to bend, using ropes or straps for support. Gradually increase the pressure over time to allow the tree to bend without breaking. Be patient and careful to avoid damaging the tree.
Trees bend towards water because their roots grow in the direction of water sources to absorb moisture and nutrients essential for their growth and survival. This natural behavior, known as hydrotropism, helps trees efficiently access water to support their biological functions.
